Put Them In Your Pocket Or Purse. That's What They're For

Car thefts are up, and I don't know who needs to be told this but apparently many do: The thefts are rising because people insist on leaving their key fobs in the cup holder, which allows anyone to pop the door open and drive. The increase in thefts is not based on activity by organized car theft rings, it's based on teens and others seeing a car parked with a key fob in it and taking the cars on joyrides. Some people are using stolen cars like Zipcars. So, keep your key fob with you. Shouldn't need to tell anyone that. (New York Times)
