were not lured by obvious temptations. >> as opposed to seeing stuff flying sling in vehicles i think they're breaking into vehicles and searching for items. >> reporter: one of the things you need to understand is that even the slightest temptation provides a signal. this is nothing but more than a battery charger but it suggests there could be a computer, telephone, maybe even a gps in the car. the gps mound in the car another problem. if the mount is there and the gps isn't most thieves are going to think it's in the glove box or in some other place easily accessible. bottom line is if you leave anything in the car whatsoever, you're really asking for trouble. if you don't leave anything in the car then there's less stuff to steal. i know it's an inconvenience but that's kind of theft culture we have right now. channel 2 news. hayward police investigating a drive by shooting that left one person injured. it happened around 1030 last
