A thief is one of the lowest forms of people in this world. I wouldn't suggest leaving anything in your car worth more than your sunglasses. Shouldn't a credit card be in in your purse/wallet/pocket and on your person?
yea, lay ya credit card on the console, dummy. that guy has the right colors on for the stuff he's doing anyway. a soon to be inmate.
Of course he would be walking IN the EXIT. Idiot!
What, he steal a coat too?
Why are people leaving credit/debit cards in their car? My card is always with me. Don't increase your chances of being a victim!
