Lincolnshire Police PCSO Jason Possnett sent out a Lincs Alert this morning which said: “It has been brought to my attention that many people still start their vehicles and leave them unattended to allow the vehicle to warm up on frosty mornings.
“Please be aware that there are persons that are looking for this opportunity to take the vehicle whilst the vehicle is unattended and running.
