I have had 2 cars stolen when I lived in Melb, silly me left the keys in the car both times, on both accounts they wanted a lift home and left the car only mins away from where they took it. I would say it is common in Melb, they walk past a car with keys in it and say oh well let's take it for a spin home. Both times I got my car back with no damage. oh they stole my riffle and the clubs cash box out of one of them.
best lesson here is don't leave keys where they can get them.
great you got it back in one piece
