Car Thefts On The Rise In Western New York
Maybe you have done it...cold weather, you stop to run into a store for just a minute, your car is in plain sight, so you leave it running...police say that is a big mistake.

“And he was rummaging or looking in the car and Jeremiah knew something wasn’t right and the guy told him to get out,” said Felicia Richardson who had her car stolen in Cheektowaga.
