Car theft

At times like these, with temperatures hitting the 40's at midday, it is common for residents to leave their cars running with the AC on. However, it may no longer be safe to do so. In another example of rising crime in Doha, a second car was stolen in broad daylight yesterday. The car had been left running outside it's owner's house while the owner entered his house. This followed on from the theft of a Toyota Corrolla last month which has still not been recovered.
