More cars are being stolen in Murfreesboro and the Public Information Officer for the Police Department told WGNS News...
That was Larry Flowers with the Murfreesboro Police Department. Flowers told WGNS that between April 1st and June 18th of this year, 19-vehicles were stolen in Murfreesboro. Of the cars or trucks taken, 17 of them had the keys or key fob left inside of them.
It's a similar story in Nashville. There, 71% of the cars stolen in June had the keys left inside of them. That said, you should never leave your keys or your key fob in your vehicle, even if your car is parked in your own driveway.
