A St. John’s man has been left with a $ 1300 bill after a rental vehicle he was driving was vandalised and broken into.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After enjoying the Lots of Liquor event, the man said he noticed that the back glass of his Toyota Vista rental was smashed.<\/p>\n

Upon further inspection, the man realised that the car deck valued and $ 900 was stolen.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

And when he went to start the vehicle he relaised that the battery was also stolen.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The car rental insurance\u00a0does not cover incidents of that nature according to the man.<\/p>\n

He did not report the incident to the police since officers were stationed in the lit area where he parked.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In light of this and several similar crimes, Police Public Relations Officer Inspector Frankie Thomas has told drivers to use officially designated parking lots where security and good lighting is available.<\/p>\n

He says it’s also a good idea to leave the fete to check up on your vehicle once in a while.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“I don’t think it would take much from you, from time to time, to do a spot check on your vehicle.”<\/p>
