Police are warning motorists not to leave their keys in the ignition this morning while the windscreen defrosts.
West Midlands Police tweeted: "It’s very cold (or code if you’re in the Black Country) this morning.
"Please don’t leave your car unattended with the keys in the ignition whilst it defrosts. #DontMakeItEasy."
They warned that vehicles have been stolen while drivers pop inside the house even for just a few seconds.
