Mobile police are issuing a warning for all drivers. They say nearly 200 cars have been stolen so far this year and many of them could have been prevented.

You see it all the time – people often stop at stores, leaving their cars unlocked thinking they’ll only be in the store for a few minutes.“Complacency is what it is, you know what I mean?...And a lot of times they don’t think it can happen to them,” said Mobile driver John Baxter.

Surveillance footage captured some of these crimes happening outside local businesses. In this video, the thief appears to be walking inside a store. He quickly turns around after noticing windshield wipers running on an unattended vehicle, hops in and drives off. “Wow…Wow. So he waited to see if somebody was leaving the car running,” said Baxter as he watches some of the footage.
