Over the weekend, I was a victim of vehicle burglary.
After coming home from work, I forgot to lock my vehicle doors and after being inside my home for a mere hour, came out to find both my center console and my glove box had been ransacked.
Considering the amount of value items I had in my vehicle at the time, I was semi-lucky that only my pistol and my wallet were stolen.
This was a stark reminder of why you should always lock your vehicle doors and make sure you're not leaving any valuable items (specifically firearms), inside said vehicle.
My case officer did tell me that my pistol has been recovered, but that is not always the case. Safety should always be first.
