Protect Your Property

• Become involved with Block Watch
• Add extra outdoor lighting
• Make sure windows/sliding doors are secure and can’t be forced or lifted out of their frame
• Use deadbolts
• Keep trees trimmed to prevent “hiding spots”
• When working outside keep any doors and windows you cannot see locked
• Thieves do not like to work too hard, make it difficult for them

Prevent Theft From Auto

• Never leave valuables, such as wallets, purses and computers, in plain view
• Valuables in the trunk are at risk. If you must put valuables in the trunk, place them there before arriving at your destination
• Watch for suspicious acting people loitering in the area of parked cars or sitting in a parked car
• Park in a well lit area if you expect to return to your car after dark
• Keep a record of all your credit card numbers. Write down the serial numbers, makes and models of your personal property
