MORRISTOWN, Tenn. — If you leave your car, don't forget to lock the door! The Morristown Police Department is urging people not to leave their keys inside of their cars, or else thieves may drive off with their vehicles and everything in them.
In a release, they said ten cars have been stolen in Morristown since April 26. They were unlocked with the drivers' keys still in them, and some were still running when drivers left to do something else.
The most recent car theft was on Wednesday, according to the release. They said the driver left his car unlocked at a gas pump with his keys still inside while he stepped into the store. As he left, he saw his car being driven away, according to police.
Police said simply locking up your car while away from it will ensure thieves do not have an easy opportunity to steal your car and could help ensure your car stays yours!
