Lock it, Hide it, Keep it

Help prevent vehicle burglaries:
•Don't leave valuables in your car. If you must leave valuable items in your car while out and about, place items out of sight.

•Never open a trunk, fill it full of valuables, close it, and then just walk away.
• Once home, unload your valuables immediately. 
• Do not store valuables in your car and definitely never overnight. Leave no trace. 
• Don't leave any sign that there might be valuables out of sight in your vehicle, such as connector cables. 
• Very few auto break-ins are random — thieves see something in plain sight that is valuable, or hints of possible hidden valuables. 
• Try to park in busy, well-lighted areas.
• Lock all your vehicle's doors even if you plan to be gone for only a brief time. It only takes seconds to steal your stuff! 

• It's not at all uncommon for thieves to walk down a row of parked vehicles and check car doors to see if they are unlocked. 
• Don't leave any window open or even cracked open, including vent/wing windows and sunroofs. 
•As soon as you notice something's stolen (or that your car has been broken into) do not touch/adjust anything in, on, or around the car. 
• As soon as possible, call the police to report the incident and if possible, to have fingerprints taken. • Do not confront anyone. 
• Property can be replaced! Be alert, be aware, and be prepared to be a good witness. Keep reminding people of the “Lock it, Hide it, Keep it” campaign.

The safety of our Neighborhood is not up to the Police...IT IS OURS!



It is up to everyone that lives in our community to watch out, not only for themselves but, for their neighbors. If you see cars that are parked and not moved for more than 72 hours call 311 and report it. If you see any vandalism, PLEASE report it. If you see someone that obviously doesn't belong or is doing something they shouldn't be, PLEASE report it. Lets keep our neighborhood clean, if you see furniture being dumped, call and have it removed.



WE ARE THE EYES AND EARS FOR THE POLICE. IT IS UP TO US TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE!!!
