REDMOND, WA — A lot can happen in just a few minutes.

A few Redmond residents found that out the hard way this week. Police are reporting that three different people had their vehicles stolen. And all three had left their trucks running, unlocked and unattended, while they went to go do something else. On top of that, in Education Hill, a prowler stole from a number of parked cars that were all left unlocked. In a separate incident in the downtown area, a woman had her purse stolen out of her — you guessed it — unlocked car.
