As the result of a string of 52 thefts from unlocked cars this year, the Mt. Lebanon Police Department has launched a public safety awareness campaign to remind drivers that leaving their cars unlocked--even for a few minutes, even in their own driveways--can result in the theft of wallets, purses, iPods, computers and sunglasses.
UPDATE: I cannot honestly believe that I read this in the Post-Gazette article today:
Are you kidding me? Have we become so lackadaisical that we need the police to lock our cars for us??!?

UPDATE: I cannot honestly believe that I read this in the Post-Gazette article today:
The release said police who spot parked cars with open windows or unlocked doors will leave a courtesy reminder inside of the car asking the driver to lock up in the future. The police will then lock the doors to keep the contents of the car safe.

I'm not sure the police should be locking car doors. They could be locking owners out. The notes should be just fine by themselves.
