Vehicle Break In Prevention
Once again, city police would like to remind the public to lock their doors, park in busy, well lit areas and do not leave valuables inside your vehicle. If you leave items in your vehicle and they're visible, the chances your vehicle will get broken into increase greatly. Very few auto break-ins are "random". The thieves usually see something out in the open. Valuable items that thieves target are GPS units, MP3 players, Laptops, money, purses, wallets, packages and so forth. If you can't take the items with you, secure them in a safe place in your vehicle, like a locked glove compartment or your trunk. Alarms or anti-theft devices work: Thieves are usually looking for the "easiest" target. If your car has an alarm, it could act as a deterrent. But don't make this common mistake: Just because you have an alarm, doesn't mean thieves won't break-in.

Police ask the public if they see anyone suspicious or that appear to be checking vehicles, please contact them immediately.
