<p>At least 10 vehicles were rummaged through in a Franklin neighborhood Wednesday night or Thursday morning.</p>
<p>The vehicles were unlocked, and residents discovered that their belongings had been gone through early Thursday, according to Franklin Police Department reports.</p>
<p>Police are reminding residents that the best deterrent is a locked vehicle.</p>
<p>Residents of five homes in the Woodfield Village neighborhood on Hospital Road, west of U.S. 31, reported that at least nine vehicles had been entered, according to the reports.</p>
<p>Across the road, a car parked on Wild Ivy Trail also had been gone through.</p>
<p>Most residents reported that nothing had been taken from the vehicles. In two incidents, a small amount of change was missing, the reports said.</p>
<p>Residents should lock their vehicles, even when they are parked in their driveways, Franklin police deputy chief Chris Tennell said.</p>
<p>"In Franklin, most thefts from vehicles occur when thieves are pulling on door handles and entering unlocked vehicles," Tennell said.</p>
<p>"Oftentimes, criminals will enter unlocked vehicles, the path of least resistance, and not force entry into locked vehicles."</p>
