POLICE have warned motorists to watch out where they park and to make sure they lock their vehicles before leaving them.
The call follows a theft from a vehicle parked in Lamplighters Walk, Trowbridge, between November 10 and 11.
It is unknown how the suspect got into the car, but no damage was caused. No valuable items were left inside the car, only insignificant items taken.
Police have urged drivers to try to park somewhere open and well-lit and to make sure their vehicle is secured.
They added: "Remember to close the windows and sunroof and don’t leave anything on show in your car when you park – not even a coat or empty carrier bag.
"If you have a removable satnav, remove it and take it with you if possible. Remove the mounting, polish any marks off the windscreen and hide the cable and mounting. Store car ownership information at home, not in your car."
Number plates are often stolen for criminal use, so drivers are urged to secure their number plates with anti-theft screws, available from car accessory stores.
