Clark’s daughter walked out to her car this weekend to find it had been broken into. The crooks had snapped off the central console and taken the radio. They also got into the trunk, where her purse was. She didn’t have much money, but she had to replace all of her identification cards. The thing she was most crushed by was the loss of the radio, so she and Clark started looking in the paper for deals. Radios are not that expensive, so it shouldn’t be a big problem to replace, but imagine if she’d had a laptop in the car like her neighbor did. Identity theft is growing every year and the damage is much more long-term. It’s also important to never leave your purse in your car, whether in the trunk or elsewhere. Just remember that crime can happen anywhere and it happens to everyone. Try to be as careful as you can.
