You may be on holiday - but car thieves are not. Car crime happens in the quietest corners and in the nicest places.
Visitors enjoy solitude and tranquillity and so do car thieves, who like to work undisturbed.
Quiet spots such as Troutbeck, Dubbs Reservoir and Ferry Nab are handy places to leave the car and go for a walk but visitors parking in all three locations have recently lost valuables stolen from their cars. All three feature in Cumbria Constabulary s latest list of car crime blackspots. There are plenty of others look out for police warning notices, and be vigilant. Every year, scores of thefts from parked cars could be avoided. Items taken include credit cards, rucsacs, cameras, wallets, expensive clothing and walking equipment, camping gear and luggage.
