Upper Moreland police Chief Thomas Nestel says he's dropping a proposal that would have required residents and visitors to lock their car doors or face a citation and a $25 fine.
Nestel told The Intelligencer newspaper of Doylestown the proposal drew a flood of negative responses after he pitched the idea to the township commissioners.
Nestel had proposed the idea Monday, saying three-quarters or more of thefts in the township are from cars left unlocked.
