Attention Residents: Please remain vigilant in not only locking your car doors, but removing anything of value out of plain sight. Sometimes, even if you have “clutter” in your car, thieves may break in, thinking that you have something valuable hidden underneath the piles. Keep your cars clean and locked. Also, if you have a pedestrian access door in your garage, please double-check to make sure it’s locked so thieves can’t get access to your house.

It can take seconds for a thief to steal something from your car, so never leave valuables inside. Most vehicle crime is preventable. Don’t make your car a target for thieves by leaving sought-after items such as purses, wallets, laptop computers and cell phones in plain view. Always check you have closed all your windows and locked the doors before leaving your car unattended. While there’s no surefire way to totally prevent your car from being broken into, keeping these tips in mind can make your car less of a target.
