Thieves use Bluetooth phones to target cars with laptops in them

Thieves in Cambridge, England are using the “detect nearby Bluetooth devices” feature in their mobile phones to figure out which cars have laptops locked in them so that they know which cars to break into.

It’s a good idea for stealing. But why people leaves laptop running in the car when they’re away? Without the device on, it’s impossible to detect the bluetooth signal.
