Police are warning beachgoers to not leave their car keys unattended when going to or parking near the beach.
Due to improved car security, offenders need the keys to steal your vehicle and this has been occurring in the Currumbin, Main Beach and Burleigh Heads areas.
The offenders are watching where you are hiding the keys so it is recommended that you either invest in a lock to attach to the outside of your car, invest in a waterproof key or leave them with a friend.
Prevent motor vehicle theft – secure your keys.
