 Life's too short. Don't speed through it. Stop speeding before it stops you. A message from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. No one wants to be a victim of a vehicle theft, but an alarming number of drivers are leaving themselves vulnerable. Keys and fobs are being left in unattended vehicles, making it easier for thieves to hop in and take off. This is especially true in winter months, when owners leave their vehicles running to keep them warm.
