The car owner has reported the incident to Kilkenny gardaí and has asked any members of the public who has other recordings or saw any suspicious to report it “Please, please, always lock your vehicles at night,” a spokesperson for the association said. “Some of you woke up this morning to having items stolen from your vehicles – it’s both shocking and an unfortunate reality of opportunistic theft as the evenings get darker.
