Help Prevent Thefts from Cars
Posted: Jun 29 2023

Help Prevent Thefts in the CVT Parking Lots (if you see a break-in in progress, call 911 immediately)

Lock your car doors: A majority of car break-ins and thefts are from unlocked cars.
Secure your vehicle: Roll your car windows all the way up and engage the car alarm.
Keep your vehicle tidy: Thieves like to window shop. Avoid leaving anything visible in the car.
Conceal all proof: Put your electronics and accessories well out of sight, include power cords, adapters, etc.
Stash BEFORE you park: Get in the habit of putting items you want to be hidden in the trunk of your car before you arrive at your destination.
