Tuggeranong car break-ins

The sad reality is, based on MY own experience, and of close friends- thieves still break in, causing 100s of dollars in damages to vehicle, yet there is nothing for them to take.
Cops don’t come out to take fingerprints, however, I think it is wrong, as more likely, prints would belong to someone well known to a police.

We should be able to safely leave our doors unlocked and our possessions lying about wherever we like without fear of some scumbag stealing our stuff. Read RA, or your media of choice, though – that’s not the world we live in. Encouraging people to take reasonable precautions sounds to me to be justified.

+1.

So it’s the fault of people who park their cars outside their house, and not in their garage that may or may not be large enough or existant enough to hide away our worldly possessions from the scum of the earth.

No, it’s not the victims’ fault and, by my reading, Sergeant Anderson isn’t saying that it is.

A couple of years ago had my car broken into opposite the Tuggers Southern Cross Club and they didn’t even want my homemade tape of Duran Duran greatest hits.
