Residents Are Advised Not to Leave Keys or Keyfobs Inside Vehicles! Please lock your cars at night and never leave them running!

With the change from Daylight Savings Time and darkness coming earlier, the North Caldwell Police are asking you not to leave keys and keyfobs inside your vehicles and to lock your vehicles overnight. Do not not leave valuables inside vehicles and make sure that the keyfob is moved far enough away from the vehicle that it cant be started. 

Residents should take the following precautions:

1. Leave enough lights on to illuminate the exterior of your home and driveway areas.

2. Report suspicious activity, people and strange cars to the Police.

3. Keep an eye on your neighbors’ property and vehicles.

4. Park vehicles inside garages when possible.

5. If you must leave cars parked in your driveway, make sure that they are locked with alarms set, and that the keys or keyfobs are in a secure location inside your home - Never leave your keys or keyfobs inside your vehicle for any reason.

6. Do not leave dealer supplied "Valet Keys" in your glove compartment or anywhere inside your vehicle.  

7. Do not leave valuables or anything containing personal information inside vehicles.

8. Lastly, NEVER leave vehicles running for any reason while unattended.
