yep. CDs are very popular. My very non-crime-aware father even put all my
CDs in a box and took them home when a tradesperson was going to be in my
house doing some work (when I was away). most odd.

It can work. years ago our ski lodge was broken into, fax etc and a lot of
valuable racing skis went. some detective work by the people who owned the
skis, a certain cashies was watched carefully (near the school who was
staying up in Guthega the week of the break in!) and they turned up, the
people saw them, called cops and they were able to trace back to the thiefs.
because of work done by the people who owned the skis.

even with a suspect, don't hold your breath.
My wallet and keys were taken from my car in my parents' car shed out the
back of our house in Pialligo a month back. As we looked around the farm,
hoping they'd taken teh money and tossed the wallet, we found 2 guys walking
into the place. Brother escorted them to far gate, then got phone and
sprinted around to back gate, where 2 cars were parked in the trees. Began
taking down the rego numbers, and kid in one of the cars began yelling for
his dad! Obviously the lookout.
Cops said it was still circumstantial evidence and nothing more was heard
from them.

If anyone knows how I can get a rego lookup done on those regos, I'd sure be
grateful.

ha. good start  but you'll need a hell of a lot more than that!

The reason, I think, that so much of this kind of theft goes on is that the
thieves have a good chance of getting away with it.

Why were the guys back? Our guess is that one came in (it was dusk, btw) and
took the wallet and keys, then called his mate or went and got him, and came
back to either steal my car, or try the keys on the various locked sheds or
even house.
