At least 12 cars sacked or stolen in recent weeks

Tiburon police say five cars were stolen and at least seven others were ransacked for cash and other items between Aug. 30 and Sept. 13. All but one or two were left unlocked, and four of the stolen cars had the keys inside.

“If we don’t make it easy for them, then they are not going to keep coming back,” she said.
