A THIEF who tried to steal a car and a television when he got into a house was foiled when the car would not start.
The door of the house in Pilkington Road, Kearsley, was unlocked and the thief got in between 7.30am and 8am on Sunday.
He took the TV from the front room and the keys of a car parked on the drive, but as he tried to start it he was disturbed by the owner and fled empty handed.
