900 callouts to kids and pets locked in cars this year
The Automobile Association has issued a plea for people not to lock children and pets in cars in a warning that gets more-urgent as summer months set in.
AA said it has been called to 470 children and 450 pets locked in cars during 2020 so far but that number was down on previous, non-lockdown years.
Have you seen any pets or children locked in cars yourself?

Complete control over your information
Emergency Cards are perfect for your wallet, purse or cellphone case.
You have complete control over what information you want to have included on the card and once your order is received and you're happy with it, we delete your information, so nothing is kept on file.
Not intended for full medical history, only include life-threatening conditions or information that is important for first responders to know about immediately.
No known medical conditions?
No worries! Simply use as an emergency contact card.
You never know when the unexpected may happen.
Emergency Cards communicate important medical and contact information when you can't, ensuring you get the right treatment, and are reunited with loved ones sooner.
For peace of mind and greater independence.
