Police are reminding everyone to lock it or lose it this holiday season.
Grinches will look to pray on unlocked vehicles as these are considered crimes of opportunity.
Despite repeated education people continue to leave valuables in plain sight which give thieves more incentive to break in.
Besides locking vehicles keep all valuables out of sight to reduce the risk.
The OPP encourage all vehicle owners/passengers to do simple things to decrease the risk of being victimized, such as:
· Never leave a running vehicle unattended
· Lock your doors
· Pocket your keys
· Alarm your vehicle if equipped
· Roll up your windows
· Keep valuables out of sight
· Always park in a well-lit area
Additionally, if you see suspicious activity in your neighborhood, don’t hesitate, call police immediately.
