PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE / REDUCE VEHICLE THEFT



Did you know?

The ten (10) U.S. States with the most stolen vehicles are:
1. California 2. Florida 3. Texas
4. New York 5. Illinois 6. Georgia
7. New Jersey 8. Maryland 9. North Carolina
10. Nevada

Here's how to protect your vehicle

§ Take your key; don't leave it in or on your vehicle.
§ Close and lock all windows and doors when you park.
§ Park in well-lit areas - in a garage, if possible.
§ Never leave valuables in your vehicle, especially in plain sight

REMEMBER THIEVES WANT PARTS AND VALUABLE ITEMS, TOO.

Radios and wheel covers aren't the only popular stolen vehicle parts thieves take. They want whatever sells, from the mandated labeled parts to those that aren't. Among some of the most popular parts or items left in vehicles are: engine, transmission, air bags, radios, GPS units, iPods, laptops, and purses.

WE ARE ALL SUSCEPTIBLE TO VEHICLE THEFT.

§ Only about 52% of stolen vehicles are recovered.

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!!!
