Resident Nabile said he was recently made aware of the incidents.

"The police, they came to our house and told us about the criminal issue," he said.

So here's the key: police said all the cars were unlocked and the key fobs were left inside the vehicles.

Donna lives close by in Upper Saddle River, and said she would never leave her keys in the car.

"I may as well put a sign out and say take my car," she said.

Cars were also reported stolen in Hohokus and Ridgewood. Both of those cases also involved keys being left in the vehicles.
