Last week, there were 13 Vehicle Burglaries or Thefts in the Palms area
There was a cluster of Burglaries and Thefts from vehicles in the Palms area last week. This area generally is higher in these types of crimes than in other areas, which is most likely due to the high volume of apartments in the area. Many citizens are forced to park on the streets and away from the view of their apartments. Because there is such a high turnover rate in rentals many neighbors do not know each other, which makes it difficult to watch out for your neighbors.
What can you do to prevent your vehicle from being burglarized.
1. Lock Your Vehicle!!!! Many of the vehicles targeted are left unlocked
2. Don't leave any objects visible from outside your vehicle (i.e. cellphones, laptops, jewelry, cash, change, or bags)
3. Use an audible alarm which sounds when your window is shattered
