It does sound like some kind of inside knowledge. But I too read that a slider had been left open. I guess those locks only work if you use them!

Where we came from, you could leave everything unlocked--until the last five years, when people discovered lots of us left unlocked cars in the driveways. We had to rethink and change our behavior. Perhaps the victims in this case were used to a certain level of safety that no longer exists.
