Udupi, Mar 13: In two separate incidents, thieves stole laptops placed inside the parked cars by breaking the rear window glasses in the city. Both the incidents happened on the evening of Thursday March 11. The fact that both these acts were executed in busy road without arousing any suspicion has worried the people in general.

A laptop was stolen from a car that was parked by the roadside on Udupi - Manipal road near Raj Towers next to the city bus stand here. The laptop stolen has been valued at about Rs 25,000. The glass window of the Maruti Swift was shattered by the thieves to commit this theft. Raksha U (26) from Koragrapady lost her laptop in this incident. She reported loss of about Rs 29,000 including cost of window glass that was broken.

In the other case, the glass of a car parked on the opposite side of Brindavan Circle near the Glass House was broken and laptop worth about Rs 70,000 was stolen. Dr Naman Agarwal lost his laptop in this incident. Dr Naman had parked the car and left for some time to attend to his work. By the time he returned, his window glass was broken and a laptop and Rs 20,000 in cash were stolen. He said that loss suffered by him is about Rs 90,000.

    Here we should not blame the thieves.blame the owners who leave behind their valueables in car ,which can be seen through window.Even isurance will not pay you in this case Its only negligent.Handbag ,laptop or mobiles are more attractive to thieves ,brings more money than a theft.Even for a short period absence ,however the inconvience is kindly take it with.sad but is so.People are just waiting for a chance ,some even look what one leaves behind.

    It is nothing but stupidity for people who park their cars with laptops and other valuables which is easily visible for anyone. Moreover these cars were parked on a busy road in Udupi and Manipal. I hope the police will solve this case by arresting the culprits.

    As more and more people lose their livings such robberies, looting, burglaries will be on the rise! One big departmental store employing 11k people directly is on the verge of collapse; automotive industry is going through the worst phase because of fuel hike and also massive induction of EV 2/3 wheelers; theatres are in doldrums, Bollywood is feeling the heat, realty has gone for a toss; all in all, one should not expect any improvement in the economy for the next 5 years at the least!

    How much time do you think it will take someone to break open a metal door if he has a forged Crowbar?

    Kindly keep your valuables like laptop, vanity bags etc in the boot of the cars. Its a temptation to the thieves if we leave on the seat or push the valuables under the front seats.

    If you must leave your valuables on the back seat cover them with a piece of cloth or paper. Or lock them inside the trunk of the car.It is safe .
