Who is responsible for stealing vehicles in the Las Vegas Valley area? (according to Metro)
How can you decrease your risk of being a victim? Anti-theft devices really do work and most new cars now come with factory-installed theft devices. If your vehicle does not have a device, several are available on the market that provide the necessary protection. Many auto parts stores offer a variety of protection options such as steering wheel and brake locks, ignition cutoff switches, voltage sensing device (which triggers an alarm when a power drain is detected), motion sensing devices, to name a few.
Help Combat Auto Burglary: “Out of Sight, Out of Crime” The CCSN Security and Public Safety Department is seeking to increase the public's awareness of the risks of leaving items in plain view inside even a locked vehicle. Anything of perceived value to a burglar is fair game and the burglar does not care how he or she obtains it. Electronic equipment, cellular phones, purses, and shopping bags are just a few of the things that are commonly taken in vehicle burglaries. Entry can be made into a vehicle by breaking out a window or abnormally manipulating the lock mechanism. Quite often, officers taking reports from victims find that the victim left items in plain view or the vehicle was left unlocked. So when you leave your vehicle parked, whether at home, work, or elsewhere, insure that the items you want to keep are kept out of sight and, if possible, secured in the trunk. Remember, TAKE IT OR TRUNK IT!
