Not locking the doors of a 2015 BMW resulted in a thief entering it overnight Sunday to Monday, March 14 to 15. Leaving the keys inside resulted in the thief driving off in the car. But having a nearly empty gas tank seems to have resulted in the thief leaving the car by the side of the road, not far away from the driveway at 49 Echo Drive. At least that’s what the owner thought after he spotted his car the next morning. He called police at 7:08 a.m. Police didn’t say that anything had been stolen from the car.
