AUTO-BURGLARY PREVENTION TIPS...

Are your valuables VISIBLE? Don't be the next car burglary victim! The first thing you can do to help: Don't leave valuables in your car - particularly not in plain sight! The last thing you need is to find your vehicle's window broken or items missing. We suggest taking these simple but important steps to maintain your car's safety:

>Don't leave valuables in your car.

>If you must leave valuable items in your car while out and about, place items out of sight before reaching your destination or move them inconspicuously.

>If your trunk can be opened from inside your car without a key, lock this feature when you are not in your car or have it disabled, if possible.

>Leave no trace. Don't leave any "sign" that there might be valuables such as docking stations or connector cables. Leave nothing in "plain sight" that might make your vehicle worth "investigating" by a thief; not even loose coins or a CD.

>Lock ALL your vehicle's doors even if you plan to be gone for only a brief time.

>Set any alarm or anti-theft device. If you have one, use it!

A final word: Do NOT confront anyone. Your life is precious; property can be replaced! If you are coming and going from the community at any time, day or night and you notice what you believe to be suspicious activity  CALL 911

BE ALERT, BE AWARE, and prepared to BE A GOOD WITNESS. 

Report suspicious persons or activities in our neighborhood to the police.

Remember, a burglar doesn't look like a burglar.
