CRIME PREVENTION TIPS
Vehicle Security:
  • An unlocked car is an open invitation to a car thief.
  • Lock up when you leave your car, and take the keys with you.
  • Lock the trunk or tailgate.
  • Close all windows — professional thieves have tools that unlock cars through the smallest openings. 
  • When you park the car, remove cellular phones and other valuable possessions. Do not leave anything lying on the seat.
  • Lock all valuables in your trunk or take them with you.
  • Lock your car even if you are making a quick stop at the gas station, convenience store, or mini-mall.
