The offenders then fled the scene in the car.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Keep your keys out of sight - it's not enough to leave them within view of a window as the burglars spot them by shining a torch through the window and having a good look around, they then break the window with force (usually with a large stone from out of your garden) and obtain the keys by using a magnet attached to a garden cane or whatever they can find.
They can do this without even entering the property; they then make off at speed leaving you to pick up the pieces!! Not surprisingly, although on both occasions we got our car back, the burglars were never found.
