Keep your property safe

It is critical that everyone is careful to remove all valuables from their vehicles. The thieves in these crimes are looking into vehicles and spotting items worth stealing. Your purse, house keys, clothing, shoes, iPhones and GPS devices are all prime choices. These suspects break the window or force open the locks and enter your vehicle. From there, your valuable property is removed. By the time you have your vehicle window replaced, ($300.00), take time off from work (half a day), and replace your laptop or iPhone ($500.00) you are now out over $800.00 plus your time. Please don’t leave valuable items in your car. Thieves will only break into your car if YOU leave something behind. You have to, “Lock It, Hide It Keep It.”
 

Communication is also an extremely important tool to increase our successes in our battle against BFMVs. The eyes and ears of the public enable us to identify, locate, and arrest suspects involved in these crimes. In addition, our friends, neighbors and business partners need to be regularly reminded not to leave valuables, particularly electronics, in plain view in their parked cars.
