This month’s cartoon: Cars stolen after keys left in vehicles

“Honey, if you want that new car you are always asking for, leave the keys in the ignition tonight.” (Cartoon by Mike Mount)

After thieves stole three cars that had been parked overnight with the keys inside, Arlington County police issued a press release.

“Police Warn Against Leaving Keys Inside Vehicles,” blared the headline of the release, providing some salient but seemingly obvious advice for residents. The continued theft of cars that were left with keys inside is the topic of this month’s featured Mike Mount cartoon.
