This is the big last push for shoppers to get that Christmas gift – and thieves are at the ready.
Throughout the year, the OPP preach their “lock it or lose it” campaign – but with many Christmas presents sitting empty in the back of cars there is no better time than now for a reminder.
This is also the time of year where people are warming up those cars before they start they day, and that too comes with it’s share of concerns.
While this message is extra important this time of year, they see it all year round people opting not to keep their belongings in the trunk or dropping it off at home – instead leaving it for the world to see through a window.
Even if a door is locked, if that item is valuable enough, it could be worth the risk of smashing that window and running.
