A TOP of the range BMW has been stolen by thieves who "fished" the car's keys through a letterbox.
The blue personalised number plate car was taken from outside a house in Brinksway, Lostock, last night.
And today police re-issued a warning to homeowners urging them to make sure keys are kept out of sight away from the front door following a growing trend for this type of crime.
Insp John Dunstan of Bolton Police said: "People should make sure they do not leave vehicle keys within reach or in a position which is viewable from outside.
"If the keys weren't there the theft could not happen.
