A while agoo

when having bathroom and ensuite refurbished our local traveller friends followed the installers van (common practice apparently) so they could help themselves to the taps and fittings from the old stuff left outside. Not a problem but they also went in the side garden and nicked my bike when I'd left it there as the garage was full of bath and shower type boxes. When the police came round they said even though this was off Norwich Rud Corrrsey they had no "previous" for the area. Absolute zippo appaarently on the old "who's nicked what and where" puter. I too have left doors unlocked and had no problems in NR5 but I guess there's a fair bit of luck attached as well.
