Students from Chisholm Elementary School in Montgomery joined thousands of students around the state and the globe who walked to school for International Walk to School Day Wednesday. The theme for the year: "Hike it, Bike it, I like it!"

More than 40 Alabama schools walked and biked to school as part of the state's Safe Routes to School program Walk to School Day.

Unlocked cars present "A Crime of Opportunity"

It may be something we forget to do: lock our car doors. But the Montgomery Police Department says it's becoming a city-wide problem. Recently, one subdivision has seen a rash of car break-ins.

In about 5 minutes, they will be in it and gone," Montgomery resident Jerry Champion said.

Champion has lived in this house in Halcyon subdivision in East Montgomery for six years. For the first time he fell victim to a car break-in.

"Someone stole a TV out of the SUV here," Champion said.

 It happened early Sunday morning two weeks ago. He admits, the hatch was not completely closed and locked.

"During the day, while you're at work or late at night," Champion said.

And he's not alone, Montgomery Police Chief Kevin Murphy says 29 break-ins have occurred throughout the neighborhood. Some of the owners reported no thefts, but others like champion had personal items stolen.
