Guidelines for Protection Against Burglary Theft From Motor Vehicles
This is the number one crime in our neighborhood! Here's a message from our Police Captain and his Detectives: 1) Leave nothing of any value or visually perceived value in your car. 2) Take the car registration and insurance information into your house with your keys (maybe in a little travel bag). Or, fold your registration and keep that and your insurance card in your wallet. 3) Unplug all charging cables and place in your glove box, center console or take into your home. 4) MOST IMPORTANT: Report ANY and ALL violations of your personal space. Even if you feel nothing of value seems to have been removed. You ARE a victim and your report supports efforts to direct patrol to your neighborhood. 5) Extra message: Make time to file a police report at the Wilcox LAPD station and report the details of theft or vandalism of your personal property. It's absolutely necessary if you want a police presence on your block. You can wait to report a crime but your ability to report the crime accurately is best right after the crime has occurred. |
