ND thief leaves note, advises car owner to lock up

[July 18, 2009]  FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- A man said it's a tough way to learn a lesson but he's a lot wiser. Someone made off with Mark Neary's driver's license and other items from his unlocked car early Wednesday, and left a message behind. Neary said he found a note telling him he had "amazing taste" in music.

The note said the thief had taken credit cards and his driver's license and advised him to "lock your car in the future."

Neary said it could have been worse. The keys were in the ignition and the thief could have driven off with his car.
