@Jon Saalberg...don't you be gettin all uppity and in the reporters faces here...they don't have any editors to help them...want the job? LOL And furthermore, does anyone have any idea of insurance coverage when items are stolen from an unlocked, unoccupied vehicle?

This headline doesn't make sense - the break-ins already occurred, so the police wouldn't warn people about them - how about "Chelsea Police Issue Warning After Recent Vehicle Break-ins." This also allows for the fact that SUVs, pickups, etc, could be targeted, which aren't cars.

If the cars were left unlocked is it still considered a "break-in"?
