In Pekin Daily Times, on April 14, 2014, the author talks about how there
has been 20 calls since April first from residents that have had
someone rob their vehicle. The author says that the Pekin Police
Department is warning all residents to lock their vehicles and homes now
that the weather is warming up. Not only do they tell you to lock your
doors they also mention to not leave expensive items in the car or in
plain sight. “It is a crime of opportunity” states Officer Mike Eeten.
He also talks about how warmer weather brings out the worst of
robberies.
I personally have never had anyone break into my home or
car. However, if you deliberately leave a laptop or something most
valuable to you in plain sight of your vehicle then you are taking your
chances of losing them to another person. Even though it seems unfair,
people are ruthless and do not care about others. Warmer weather is not
what brings out robbers; it is the stupidity of those who choose not to
lock their car doors or homes. I honestly think it is quite humorous
that in this day in age someone honestly would trust their neighbor or
some random person on the street to NOT rob their unlocked vehicle or
home?
