I must admit, there's no way I'd leave my car parked anywhere in Sydney without the crook lock on it - and we've had the nasty experience a year or so ago where a lady left her car unlocked, with the toddler asleep in his car seat in the back whilst she dashed into the nearby shop for one item. By the time she returned, her car had been stolen. When the thief realised there was a child in the car, he abandoned the car, but also locked it for some reason (probably to stop it being stolen!). The child died as a result of the heat in the locked car. Justice was done - the thief went to goal, but was let out on appeal, whereupon he stole another car. Whilst being chased by police only a couple of miles away from my home, he abandoned the car, dashing across a busy road - and was knocked down and killed by a car coming in the opposite direction.
