La Cañada and a theiving scam

Just really to give you all a heads up for all of you out there who are not locals and already the gossip. The latest scam to hit La Cañada shopping centre in Marbella is thefts from cars in the underground car park. This is not general theft from cars so do not panic and continue to use your common sense placing valuable items out of site and locked in the boot. The target for this scam is shoppers who return to their car with shopping then who return to the shopping centre to continue shopping. It is rumoured that there are lookouts in the car park who have targeted shoppers in the past. The good news is that there is now a heightened state of alert in the car park now and a larger security presence, especially for the summer visitors.
That said, La Cañada has a good track record in comparison with many of the Costa´s shopping centres and with common sense and vigilance, I know all you shoppers out there will be safe and sound.
