Police are appealing for information after laptops were stolen from three cars in Farnborough between Monday, Janaury 18 and Tuesday, January 19.
 
All of the incidents happened between 8.30pm on Monday and 7.30am on Tuesday.
 
A silver Vauxhall Vectra parked in Briars Close was broken into and a laptop was stolen from the boot of the vehicle. 

A grey Audi A6 parked in Broadmead was also broken into and a laptop was stolen from inside and a grey Vauxhall Insignia parked in Long Beech Drive was also broken into and another laptop was stolen.
 
Inspector Matt Reeves, of the Farnborough Targeted Patrol Team, said: “All of these thefts happened overnight and although residential areas would have been quiet someone may have noticed something.
 
“If you saw anything or have any information about these incidents please contact us as soon as possible.”
 
Hampshire Constabulary offers the following advice:

• Don’t leave anything in your car – if it’s not there, then it can’t be stolen.
• Choose a stereo that can be removed and make sure you take it with you! You should also mark it with your registration number or postcode, in case it is stolen. 
• Thieves aren’t picky, so don’t leave even low-value items. Often thieves will smash and grab first and look later to see if what they’ve stolen is valuable.
• Don’t hide it – if you hide items under the seat or in the glove box, chances are someone will have watched you. If you cannot avoid leaving something in your car, put it in your boot before you begin your journey.
• Don’t leave valuables in your car even for a minute – it only takes a thief a few seconds to smash a window and get what they want, so don’t take the chance.
• Your car isn’t safe on your driveway – nearly half of all incidents where items are stolen from cars happen when they are parked overnight, close to the owner’s home. 
• Don’t leave your house keys or anything with your address on it in your vehicle - someone could steal your keys and then let themselves into your home.
