If some people's brains were dynamite theere would not be enough to blow their hat off. Fancy leaving the front door open and the keys on show. Why not just put up a sign saying burglars welcome!

Someone in Burnley can afford a BMW? Are you sure it wasn't already nicked?

it would be quite easy to stage something like this.The car could be found later and returned i the same condition it was taken in but not the stolen property.They claim of the insurance and get money for the allegedly stolen items.Sounds dodgy to me.
