Police: Lock It or Lose It

The number of burglary to motor vehicle incidents continues to rise. Over the weekend, Deerfield Police took more than two dozen reports from residents who discovered their cars had been rummaged through and personal items were stolen overnight. All of these instances involved vehicles that were unlocked.

Please remember to always:

LOCK your vehicle and take your keys. Even in your driveway and even during the day. It's easy to forget to lock up in the evening, so make sure your car is locked at all times. 

TAKE your valuables out of the car. Laptops, headphones, purses and shoes are valuable and lightweight, making them easy for criminals to steal. 

HIDE your belongings. If you must leave items in your locked car, make sure they are in the trunk or out of view from the window to avoid a "smash and grab." 

Multiple burglaries can happen in just minutes. Criminals will approach a group of vehicles and pull on door handles looking for unlocked doors before quickly moving to the next car. Be smart and stay safe. If you see any suspicious behavior do not approach a potential criminal, instead dial 9-1-1.
