Unlocked vehicles
The Wellington County OPP is again reminding the public to protect their property and valuables against would-be thieves.
Police say they received numerous reports of someone entering unlocked vehicles overnight recently on Ellis Road in Puslinch Township.
Police offer the following tips to avoid becoming a victim:
- always roll up vehicle windows and lock the doors;
- never leave a vehicle unattended while it is running;
- use a garage if possible and lock both the garage and vehicle doors;
- never leave vehicle keys in plain view or in an easily accessible area;
- always park in a well-lit area; and
- never leave valuable objects or packages in plain view (put them in the trunk).
