Yarra Ranges CIU detectives are investigating and said the theft occurred between 7pm on 19 June and 7am the following day in Benson Street.
Thieves took a Polaroid camera, wallet, passports and Louis Vuitton luggage, all valued at about $8000.
Sergeant Mark Smithwick reiterated continued calls from police for vehicle owners to lock their doors and remove valuables.
He said thieves targeted a tradie with an unlocked toolbox in the Crown Hotel car park in Lilydale between 7pm and 11.50pm on 22 June.
