Police officials are concerned with the unusually large number of vehicles stolen last weekend by thieves taking advantage of neglect or carelessness on the part of vehicle owners.<\/P>
\n
Last weekend, 14 vehicles were stolen from various areas of New Providence, but an even greater concern to police officers was that in most cases the thieves were “practically invited.”<\/P>
\n
Car thieves usually roam the streets on the lookout for an easy target, such as cars parked near nightclubs and in shopping areas. The most common way a thief accesses a vehicle is through unlocked windows or doors and when the keys are left in the ignition.<\/P>
\n
The Bahamas police, for reasons unknown, refuse to disclose the number of stolen vehicles for this year but more than 600 were stolen last year indicating a faction of organised crime that is rarely discussed in the Bahamas.<\/P>
