Crime Prevention|

Don’t invite a thief into your vehicle. Help us protect your vehicle and your belongings by following these easy steps!

  • Lock your vehicle and pocket the keys. Remember to lock the trunk, the hatchback or the tailgate, even in your own driveway.
  • Do not leave spare / valet keys inside the vehicle.
  • Never leave your car running unattended (not even for a minute).
  • If you have a GPS, remove it and the cradle from the window. Store it out of sight.
  • Don’t leave the vehicle registration, insurance policies or other important papers in a vehicle’s glove compartment.
  • If possible, avoid parking next to vans, pick ups and other large vehicles. These large vehicles can “hide” your vehicle and make it hard to observe.
  • Don’t invite a vehicle break-in by leaving packages or valuables (cellular phones, compact discs, iPods, wallets, laptops, sports equipment, etc.) in sight. Place items in the trunk if they must be left in the car.
  • Whenever possible, park in well lighted and busy areas.
  • Avoid transferring items to the trunk where it is parked. A thief may be watching.
  • If you have custom or expensive wheels, purchase and use a wheel lock.
  • Checkbooks, credit cards or other credentials, which a thief could misuse, should not be left in a motor vehicle.
  • Install an audible alarm. If your car is equipped with an alarm system, use it.
