Overnight the North Kansas City Police Department received several reports of vehicles being rummaged through while parked on the streets. At this time there are no reports of any thefts that have occurred. The following is a crime prevention tip relating to securing your vehicle when you are away from it. As always, be observant in your neighborhoods and report suspicious activity.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, car-related thefts are among the most common offenses requiring a police response. Most of these occur when the car is parked on the street or in the driveway of the home. Often, these vehicles are not even locked. Remove face plates from stereos and don't leave anything you would not want taken. Remember to always lock your vehicle even if you only plan to be away for a short time.
