While Tampa authorities encourage South Tampa residents to lock their house and car doors, some who forgot or didn't take heed were victims of burglaries over the holiday weekend.

According to reports from the Tampa Police Department, unlocked vehicle doors contributed to a number of items being stolen in South Tampa, from accessories to electronics.

Here's a rundown of reports by date that were submitted to TPD:
