Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind everyone that with warmer weather on the horizon more would-be thieves may be out walking the streets looking for crimes of opportunity, and an unlocked door or open window can be an invitation to thieves.
The OPP remind all vehicle owners to take the following steps to reduce their chances of victimization:
• Roll up your vehicle windows
• Lock the vehicle and pocket the keys
• Park in a well-lit area if possible
• Never leave valuables in plain view
Locking up should also be applied to your home, garage, sheds and out-buildings. Lock it or lose it!
