Crime Prevention Reminders for Your Vehicle

With the cold weather upon us it is important to remember the following crime prevention tips to protect your vehicle:

o Residents should avoid leaving their vehicles running unattended even for a short period. With the cold weather you may be tempted to warm up your vehicle, if the vehicle is left unattended this is an excellent opportunity for a car thief to steal the vehicle. If you prefer you may install a remote starter in your vehicle. A remote starter is a relatively inexpensive option to warm up your vehicle safely.
o Remember to keep your vehicle locked and windows rolled up even if the vehicle is parked in your driveway or in front of your home.
o Do not leave valuables (GPS Units, MP3 Players, laptops, money, etc) visible in your vehicle. If possible, remove all valuables from your vehicle.
o Never leave any personal information in your vehicle such as vehicle title, registration, or insurance.
o Be aware of your surroundings & trust your instincts
o Report all Suspicious Activity Anonymously to (313) 943-3030
