A Public Service Announcement from the SOSNA Safety Committee:
We are continuing to see a rise in the number of thefts from automobiles. Remember to lock all doors and remove everything visible inside cars (including cords, change, GPS holders/suction), especially items of value. Always report all break-ins and attempts to 911. Please spread the word to friends, neighbors, and visitors.
Also, as the weather is starting to get warmer, be sure to check that house doors and windows (front and back) are locked before going out, even for a short trip.
