Holiday vehicle burglaries
ALPINE — It’s that time of year when we begin to have an
increase in vehicle burglaries. Vehicle burglars are
opportunist. It takes only a few seconds for your car to be
burglarized, causing you to lose valuables and often
subjecting you to costly vehicle repairs.
Worse yet, many thieves are looking for your personal
information when burglarizing vehicles in order to make you
the victim of identity theft!
Follow these suggestions to help prevent vehicle burglaries:
Always roll up your windows and lock your car, use
anti-theft devices/alarms, never leave a running vehicle
unattended, never leave keys in your vehicle, if you must
leave valuables inside your vehicle, secure them in your
trunk, never leave them where they can be visible to
thieves.
Keep a look out, even when filling your car up with gas.
Purses left on the passenger side seat and windows open
while getting gas is a quick “grab and go.”
Please partner with us to reduce vehicle burglaries and
theft by making your vehicle a harder target.
