We live in Suffolk, just between Ipswich and Colchester, and I very rarely ever remember to lock my car, and/or the house! And when we go home to Wales (our part is north Pembrokeshire) we don't lock up anything at all, and neither do most of our neighbours, so it isn't really a case of the entire UK being a haven for car criminals! The upmarket part of Cheshire is probably a magnet to thieves of all descriptions purely because it is a desirable and up-market place to live. The more humble areas probably don't get troubled at all!
Carol - in a hot, dry and sunny Suffolk - I went to the seafront at Felixstowe today, and actually forgot to close the windows on my car, when I sat on the sea-wall - but I did lock the car up very thoroughly!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 8:42 AM Subject: Re: [lace-chat] scary story Clay That was a very fortunate escape for your grandson. But what amazed me was that it was safe to leave a car unlocked. In this country car crime is rife and in large chunks of the country (entire United Kingdom) we have to lock our cars at all times. When I was on the Isle of Man someone I was talking to said she had put a crook (sp?) lock on her car, which was itself locked and was in a locked garage. This was in an upmarket area of Cheshire which is regarded as a very desirable part of England to live. Which possibly attracts criminals - who knows. But I have heard of a locked car being stolen from a locked garage while the owners were at home.
