*Tips to Reduce Auto Theft Risks*

With car thefts being a concern citywide, the Albuquerque Police Department
has several tips to help keep your vehicle safe:

·        ALWAYS lock your car, close your windows, and engage your
anti-theft device when leaving your vehicle.

·        Don’t leave your keys in your car for any reason.

·        Park in well-lit areas close to buildings.

·        Do not leave valuables in your car, including purses, wallets,
cell phones, laptop computers, briefcases, backpacks or gym bags.

·        If possible, park your vehicle in a garage, behind a lockable
gate, or in an area with good lighting.

·        If you take your vehicle for service, only leave your ignition
key. Some people leave their entire key ring, including house keys, and
copying these keys is another way thieves can strike.

·        Don’t keep vehicle registration, insurance paperwork, or other
types of documents in your car. If there is a break-in, this information
can be used for identity theft. Instead, keep this paperwork in your wallet
and carry it with you.

·        If you see suspicious individuals wandering in parking lots or
looking into vehicles parked on the street, you can anonymously call to
report them. Call APD at 242-COPS (2677).

·        If you do see a vehicle burglary IN PROGRESS, call 911
immediately. Don’t intervene.

·        In winter months, do not leave your vehicle running to “warm up.”
This is one very easy way for criminals to steal your car.

·        Etch your vehicle identification number (VIN) on car doors,
windows, windshields, engine blocks, and other parts.

·        Consider utilizing these other vehicle safety devices – a kill
switch, a steering wheel lock, a steering column collar, brake locks, or
wheel locks.
