Warming-up cars stolen from driveways

In Chelmsford and Ingatestone three cars were stolen. In Chelmsford the thieves stole a Ford Galaxy, while in Inatestone a Peugeot 407 and a Toyota Avensis were taken. These cars were stolen when they had their engines running while their owners were inside houses preparing to leave. In these cold times, most car owners warm their cars up on driveways, and go back inside to drink a cup of tea or coffee. This happens a lot, and that's why the Police thinks these thefts were planned. For car thieves there is no easier way to steal a car.

I can imagine the situation of the car owners, but also the situation of the thieves. As a car owner you don't want to drive in a car where the temperature is almost as low as outside, so then you warm up your car on the driveway. But sometimes when I see a car with its engine running, while there is nobody in or outside the car, I also think:"When you leave your car like this, it will be very easy to steal it". So for car thieves these days are very important, because there is no easier way to steal a car.
