SPANISH –The theft of your motor vehicle, or the theft of the contents in your vehicle, can be a traumatic and frustrating experience.
A professional can steal your vehicle in just 30 seconds – without the key.
The East Algoma OPP is encouraging citizens to "Lock It or Lose It."
On July 30, 2015 the OPP received a complaint of theft from an unlocked vehicle.
The goal of the OPP is to encourage drivers to take a few simple precautions that will protect their vehicles from theft. An unlocked door or an open window is an invitation to thieves.
There are a few easy things that vehicle owners can do to prevent theft:
- Roll up your vehicles’ windows;
- Keep valuables out of sight or remove them from your vehicle;
- Lock the doors; and
- Pocket the keys.
The key to protecting your vehicle is in your hands.
Keep yourself from becoming an easy target by properly securing your vehicle.
Remember: Lock It or Lose It!
