Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune - "East Medford thieves target unlocked vehicles" - Jan. 8th, 2014:

Don't want your car broken into? A good place to start would be to lock your doors.
That didn't happen when thieves entered 18 cars in east Medford in recent days, taking spare change, a wallet, credit cards and even a gun left inside the vehicles, Medford police said.
"We see these a lot," Medford police Lt. Mike  Budreau said. "If you leave your car unlocked overnight, you're asking for somebody to open the door and look around and steal any property that could be in it."
Police said the neighborhood will go for months without any reports of criminal activity, leading residents to get lax about locking up.
"They get complacent," Budreau said. "All it takes is one time with leaving your door unlocked."
