According to the North Caldwell PD:

“The NCPD is always reminding our residents to lock their cars and not leave the keys inside. We are asking for everyone to please help us help you by deterring car thieves and giving us a better chance to catch suspicious people in town by not giving them a quick vehicle to get away in… [In addition], leaving outside lights on helps to deter thieves from walking around and looking for unlocked vehicles.”
