Fall Season Vehicle Safety Tips
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle
Make sure that the windows are all the way up before locking your vehicle
Lock your vehicle even if you are only going to be away from it a short time
Lock your vehicle even if it is parked in your driveway, inside your garage, or on the street in front of your residence
Make sure to activate your vehicle alarm whenever you exit/lock your vehicle
Do not leave valuables (i.e. purses, wallets, cellular/smart phones, cameras, laptop computers etc.) inside your vehicle even if it is locked.
Even if your vehicle is locked and alarmed, do not attempt to “hide” valuables under the seat or under an item of clothing in the vehicle
If you have a removable faceplate on your stereo, always remove and take it with you. Do not leave it in the glove compartment.
Please report any theft from your vehicle immediately to your local law enforcement agency. It is up to you whether or not you chose to report this to your insurance company.
If you observe anyone acting suspiciously in the area of your vehicle or in your neighborhood, report it immediately to law enforcement by dialing 9-1-1.
Do not keep a “Hide-a-Key” in the wheel well. Burglars will look for this. When they find one, not only will they be able to steal the property inside your vehicle, but you have also just made it easy for them to steal your vehicle!
