Stealing from cars in Geelong

from w
The Geelong Advertiser yesterday ran a story about thefts from cars, mainly unlocked, and the thieves took wallets, purses, laptops, MP3 players, GPS navigation guides, mobile phones. The map indicates the Geelong suburbs where most of this happens - Newtown, Grovedale, Highton, North Geelong Corio and Norlane and a surprise to me, Drumcondra. Fortunately our suburb of Newcomb isn't the worst but it does caution us to be vigilant. I don't think that all the thieves actually live in those areas listed but roam some of the wealthier suburbs to try their luck. There's a campaign on called ' Lock it, remove it or lose it'. Eighty-eight thefts from motor cars have been recorded in the past two weeks!
