Residents are being told to lock their cars, and take their keys with them, after five vehicles were stolen from three different residential developments on Saturday.
An increasing number of thieves are using some kind of a high-tech device that apparently sends out an electronic signal to open the keyless entry systems used to lock new cars.
Federal authorities say a New York woman has been sentenced to more than 21 years in prison for operating a large-scale car theft operation that was shipping stolen vehicles overseas.
