*Vehicle Theft Prevention and Safety Tips from The National Crime
Prevention Council*

During the winter months, it’s tempting to leave your car to warm up in the
morning. But that’s an easy target for a car thief. Here are some tips on
keeping you and your car safe this winter:

·        Never leave your car running or the keys in the ignition when are
away from it, even for a moment.

·        Keep valuables out of sight or in the trunk.  Purses, credit
cards, and cell phones in plain view only help attract thieves.

·        Always roll up the windows and lock your car, even if it is in
your driveway, garage, or in front of your home.

·        Don’t leave your keys in your vehicle. It’s surprising how many
people still do that, and it’s just another easy way to get your car stolen.

·        Never leave the registration or title in your car. If stolen, it
makes it easier for the thief to dispose of your vehicle.  It can also make
you a target for identity theft

·        Be alert when approaching your car and have your keys in your
hand. Immediately leave the scene to get help if you have any concerns for
your safety.

·        Only park your car in busy, well-lighted areas.

·        Install a mechanical locking device – a club, a collar, or a J-bar
– to your car’s steering wheel, column, or brake

·        If your vehicle has an alarm or other anti-theft device, use it.

*Won’t You Be My Neighbor?*

During the holidays, it’s easy to forget that they may not be happy
occasions for everyone. Why not visit the neighbor you haven’t seen in
awhile and drop off some homemade cookies? Or perhaps take a moment to
check on neighbors who live alone, who are elderly, or who have family
serving in the military and can’t be there for the holidays. Sometimes even
just a short visit can make someone’s day brighter.

*The Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC) wishes everyone a joyous New
Year! We look forward to continuing our work with residents and
neighborhoods in 2018! Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve, enjoy New
Year’s Day, and see you next year.*
