Crime prevention tips. Lock it or lose it.

Thieves are opportunistic and know that people tend to leave items of value in their vehicles. We receive reports of vehicles being broken into and items stolen frequently and have created these tips to help protect your belongings:

– Don’t leave expensive tools and equipment in your vehicle.

– Keep your vehicle doors and windows up, locked and secured when leaving your vehicle unattended.

– Park in well-lit areas, especially during nighttime.

– Don’t leave anything of value visible inside your vehicle.

– Don’t hide spare keys inside or underneath your vehicle.

– Remove any documents from your vehicle which reveal where you live.

– Consider using a secure parking facility or garage when available.

– Consider investing in anti-theft devices or tracking systems for added security.
