Prevent Car Burglaries - Lock Your Car
| |
With summer upon us, many people often leave their vehicles with windows open and doors unlocked. The Huntley Police Department strongly urges you to secure your vehicle at all times. Car burglaries are a crime of opportunity and can be prevented. Please do not leave any personal or valuable items in your vehicle, and always lock your vehicle.
Targeted items include:
- global positioning units (GPS)
- satellite radios
- stereo face plates
- cell-phones
- laptop computers
- I-pods / MP3 players
- wallets and purses & contents / boxes / gifts / packages
- coats / jackets
- cash (bills or coins - any amount)
Leaving electronic accessories and items of value in view can also lead to theft. Accessory items include: power cords, mounting brackets, or similar items that indicate small electronics may be in the vehicle. Any indication that electronics exist can be an invitation for a burglar.
Police Departments often find that burglars/offenders have removed social security cards, check books, credit cards, and other confidential pieces of information from the glove compartments of the victim's vehicles. These types of documents should never be stored inside a vehicle.
A car burglary takes only a few seconds and can be very costly to the owner. Dial 911 to report any suspicious people, vehicles, or activity. Call the Huntley Police Department non-emergency number with any questions at 847-515-5311.
Please remember that car burglaries can be prevented!!
