Tip
of the Week
Theft Prevention from Vehicles
Always lock your doors and roll up all windows when
you leave your car. Car thieves regularly patrol parking lots and try door
handles to see if they will open. They will even try door handles on cars
parked in driveways late at night when you are sleeping. They are hoping for
an unlocked vehicle that they can get into quickly and they will take anything
left inside. You should always store valuable items in the trunk, so that a
criminal does not see them and become tempted to break into your vehicle.
