The Delaware State Police continually investigate theft of motor vehicle complaints. These crimes result in not only the loss of your car, but also the loss of money, electronics, personal belongings of value, personal identification, and other items including holiday gifts. Many of these complaints result from the owner leaving their vehicle unsecured. These crimes are avoidable by simply taking the extra time to ensure that your vehicles are locked while parked at work, gas stations, shopping centers, and your residence. Delaware State Police want to share the importance of securing your sleighride to combat this preventable crime trend.
The Delaware State Police are offering the following prevention and awareness tips:
And finally, be a good witness for your neighbors, co-workers, and fellow citizens. Pay attention and be aware of what is going on in your neighborhood and other places that you frequent throughout the course of your day.
Avoid taking a false security mindset. These crimes happen in all communities across the region. Your address will not safeguard your property. Don’t let the Grinch ruin the holiday season. Secure Your Sleigh!
