Increase of vehicle damage and vehicle theft.

Good Afternoon,

As we are seeing an increase of vehicle damage and vehicle theft in the local area, here are some essential crime prevention tips to protect your vehicle:

• Always Lock Your Vehicle: Ensure all doors and windows are locked, even when driving.

• Remove Valuables: Do not leave valuables in plain sight. Store them in the trunk or take them with you.

• Park in Well-Lit Areas: Choose well-lit, busy areas to park your vehicle.

• Use Anti-Theft Devices: Consider steering wheel locks, alarms, and immobilizers.

• Do Not Leave Keys in the Car: Never leave your keys inside the vehicle, even for a short time.

• Install a Tracking System: A GPS tracking system can help locate your vehicle if it is stolen.

• Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

Implementing these measures can help protect your vehicle from theft. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.
