A brief reminder to the public: Lock all doors of your vehicles and conceal all personal items when vehicles are left unattended or parked. Invest in a top-rated bicycle lock and secure your bicycles when not in use. Bicycles are commonly stolen from schools, strip malls, or public areas where bicycles are left unattended or not secured to a fixed object. Remember, take preventive measures; don’t make it easy for a thief. If possible, record the serial numbers of valuable property on a sheet of paper or digital notepad. Keep the information in an inconspicuous location where you can retrieve it immediately, just in case you become a victim of theft.
