A recent report of a stolen vehicle has prompted Mt. Carmel Police Chief Mike McWilliams to issue a warning….don’t leave your keys in your vehicle. McWilliams said the vehicle was parked at a local pizza restaurant as the owner ran inside to pick up their order and left the keys behind. That was enough time for the car thief to take off and steal the vehicle ultimately rolling it into another vehicle. McWilliams said drivers should never leave the keys in the vehicle and certainly not leave it running. That word of advice will come in handy soon when colder temperatures arrive and drivers are tempted to start the vehicle to warm it up and go back inside leaving behind an inviting target for a would-be car thief.
