A man has been banned from all car parks in Wales and England for 10 years.
Mark Bevan, 34, from Caerau, Cardiff , was given the ban to run after he serves a two-year prison sentence.
He admitted breaking into six cars across Cardiff and asked for a further 36 similar offences to be taken into consideration.
South Wales Police said all property had been returned to owners.
Bevan was arrested by police after a car crime victim noticed his stolen iPod for sale on eBay.
When officers checked Bevan’s eBay account for the previous 12 months there were able to link items he was advertising for sale, to car break-ins in Cardiff.
Warrants were executed at his home address and also a relative’s where they found the stolen items including an NHS laptop, bluetooth speakers, and sat navs.
Pc Jamie Comey, who is based at Cardiff Central Police Station, said: “This individual caused upset, frustration, and inconvenience to the people of Cardiff and we were delighted to be able to not only bring him to justice but also return stolen items to their owners.
“His arrest, subsequent prison sentence and additional Criminal Behaviour Order, should send a message to anyone else thinking of committing auto crime in Cardiff.”
The condition of the order is not to enter any car park in Wales and England unless to gain access to a vehicle with the implied or expressed consent of the owner.
