Christmas gifts stolen from parked car prompts warning over holiday break-ins
An Auckland man whose Christmas presents were stolen from his car on a quiet street is warning others not to repeat his mistake.
Police and the AA say opportunistic thieves are breaking into cars more frequently during the Christmas period.
Jeremy Rees, an RNZ staff member in Auckland, had packed his car full of gifts when he decided to visit a friend.
âEveryone had handed over presents and we had a couple of bags full of presents sitting in the back of the car,â he said.
âI decided it would be great to go around and see a friend, drop off some presents and say hello. My wife said to me, âAre you sure we should be taking this car?â I said, âIâm sure itâll be fineâ.
âI think it was only 20 minutes outside their house, a very quiet street. It was light [outside]. We came out and my wife pointed out that someone had smashed the rear window, reached in and grabbed the presents, and headed away.
âIt was a shock. It was a shock partly because of the Christmas presents and partly because my wife had been telling me, âDonât do thatâ.â
AA Insurance head of motor claims Beau Paparoa said roadside staff were responding to smashed windows more often.
âWe definitely see car break-ins starting to occur a lot more around this time of year. Weâre often hearing from customers and some of our roadside teams that thereâs definitely a bit more opportunistic theft happening,â he said.
âWeâre putting that down to it being a busy time of year. Everyoneâs out doing their Christmas shopping and thereâs much more presence of gifts and valuables being visible in the car.â
He encouraged people to be careful and make sure valuables were hidden from view.
âIn terms of any valuables, if youâve done some Christmas shopping, or if generally youâve got valuables in your car, try [to] keep them locked away or out of sight â in your boot if you can,â he said.
âWhere youâre parking is possibly a good thing to think about. If you can afford to, donât park on the street, but if you have to park on-street, make sure you park in well-lit areas.â
Police said it was not uncommon for Christmas presents to be stolen.
âThe key is to remove any opportunity. This includes taking valuables or documents out of vehicles wherever possible,â a spokesperson said.
Rees said he wished he had followed that advice.
âI feel a bit stupid, to be absolutely honest. I read all of the things from police saying âdonât do this, donât pack your car, donât just leave it on the streetâ, and I did exactly the opposite and I paid the price.â
