Auto, Crime Prevention, Theft

Recently there was a series of thefts from vehicles on the east side of Wauwatosa. In each case the cars were left unlocked with some desriable items inside, mostly that loose change often left in the car.

Please review the following tips in an effort to reduce the opportunity for crime:

• Never leave anything of value in your vehicle
• Remove not only your portable electronic devices but everything related to those items as well
• Never keep anything of value in plain sight if you must leave it your vehicle for a period of time
• Get out of the habit of leaving loose change in your car
• Always park in a well lit area, if you park in the driveway at home install sufficient exterior lighting
• Always lock your car

Rembember, if we take away the opportunity for crime then the criminals will have to find somewhere else to try to committ their crime.
