Another vehicle burglary in the Target Shopping Center today, where a window was smashed to steal the victim's purse.

Ten Tips for Protecting the Property in Your Vehicle

1. Always lock your car doors and close windows, even if you’re only going to be away from your vehicle for a moment.
2. Be sure vent or wind-wing windows are shut tight and locked.
3. Never hide a spare key in or around your vehicle.
4. Always park in well-lighted areas.
5. Don't forget to lock tailgates, truck covers and storage boxes.
6. If you must keep valuables in your vehicle, make sure they are kept out of sight and well hidden. This should be done before you arrive at your location.
7. If you have a garage, park your locked vehicle inside.
8. When parking your vehicle outside of your garage, always remove your garage door opener from within the vehicle or conceal it.
9. Never attach a tag to your key ring with your name and address on it. If your keys are lost or stolen the tag will lead the thief directly to your car and your home. If you have to leave your keys with a parking attendant, leave only the ignition key.
10. Never leave a vehicle in an unattended public parking lot for an extended period.
