Police force divides opinion with warning on where to leave car keys at night

A police force has left people divided after giving drivers advice on the safest place to leave their car keys at night.

Greater Manchester Police prompted a string of amusing responses as they issued the tip on their Chadderton Facebook page, in a safety warning for anyone targeted by burglars. "Don't take your car keys to bed with you, leave them downstairs. Do not put yourself or a family member at risk," they urged.

But the advice did not go down well with everyone, with several people poking fun at the idea, the Manchester Evening News reports. "Perhaps I should leave them in the car to make it easier for a thief to steal it trouble-free," one person joked.
