The Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department would like your help!
Don’t allow someone to remove your valuables from the inside of your vehicle.
Please consider the following tips to prevent YOU from becoming a victim.
- Always lock your doors and roll up your windows
- Never leave valuable items in your vehicle
- Store packages in the trunk of your vehicle while shopping
- Remove items such as telephones, ipods, purses, briefcase, backpack, cash and even loose change each time you leave your vehicle.
- Park in well lit areas at night
- Park vehicle in the driveway rather than the street
- Consider a car alarm for added protection
- Call 911 if you see any suspicious activity
ENCOURAGE YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS TO KEEP VALUABLES OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES AT HOME, WORK OR WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS.
