Crime Prevention

7/3/2013

 
Vehicle break-ins are an internationally common crime, and no one and no community is immune. Vehicle break-ins can occur at any time of day or night.

The good news is there are things that you can do to protect yourself from having your car broken into and your personal property stolen:
  • Leave any items home that might be attractive to thieves.
  • Put your junk in the trunk! And put items attractive to thieves in your trunk BEFORE you arrive at your destination. Putting the items in your trunk while at your parking spot can tip off a thief that you have good property to steal.
  • NEVER leave ANYTHING visible inside your vehicle! This is the single most important thing you can do to prevent your car window from being smashed and your valuables stolen. Thieves take things you might think are worthless, smashing your car windows in the process.
  • Take with you, leave at home, or store in your trunk any of the following items:
    • GPS units (always wipe off the suction cup ring on your windshield – that ring is a dead give-away to a thief that a GPS device is inside your vehicle. GPS units are the most common items stolen during a car break-in.
    • Handbags, purses, wallets, gym bags, and briefcases are the second most stolen items during a car break-in.
    • Cell Phones, iPods, iPads
    • Chargers (even if you hide your electronics, if the thief sees the charger, he'll break into the car on the assumption that the GPS, cell phone, or iPod is hidden under your seat, in an interior compartment, or inside your trunk
    • Stereo faceplates, satellite radio receivers
    • Radar detectors
    • Loose change – to some your spare change is a fortune.  A car thief will break your window to steal your 73 cents out of the vehicle cup holder
    • CDs, DVDs
    • Laptops and cases
Picture
  • Roll up your car windows all the way and lock your doors.
  • Engage your car alarm, but understand that car alarms do not deter thieves from breaking into your vehicle
  • The amount of time necessary for a thief to break into your vehicle and steal your property is less than 30 seconds, not enough time for them to be scared away by the alarm
