Carolyn told Sun Online Travel: "I don't know if this is an urban myth or a rumour, but there's an understanding within our city that there's a certain minicab company that when they know that the occupants are on holiday, it seems to be coincidental that they've taken that minicab firm and their houses get broken into." "If you've got concerns about your minicab company, maybe organise a pick up which is close to your house but not your actual address." Carolyn explains that your pick-up location could be on the corner of your street or slightly further down the road.
