CRIME ALERT: Mail Thefts & Car Break-in's

This crime alert is real. 
Our friends in the Walnut Creek Neighborhood (IH35 to Lamar, north of Braker) are reporting increased criminal activity this last weekend.
 
Car Break-in's: 
This weekend 16 cars from just 10 properties in a one mile area of Walnut Creek were broken into.  In most cases, the windows were smashed and GPS, electronics and other valuables were stolen. Please read the previous post for ways to protect your vehicles and property!
 
Mail Thefts:
Suspicious persons are driving the neighborhood taking out-going mail and mail left overnight.  Items taken are Netflix movies, government checks and outgoing mail with out-going checks.  Please pick up your mail everyday.  Do not leave mail in your mail box over night.  Consider sending out mail at the post office or other secure location.
 
Call 911 if you see any suspicious activity.

ALERT: Recent Car Break-in

Take, Lock, and Hide . . . so Your Car is Safe

ü  Always lock your car, even when you will be gone a few seconds. Don't leave any window open or even cracked open, including vent/wing windows and sunroofs.Set any alarm or anti-theft device. If you have one, use it!

ü  Unload your valuables immediately, including your phone and garage remote. Do not store valuables in your car any longer than necessary, and certainly never overnight.

ü  Take anything that might tempt a thief: loose coins, docking station, loose cables, CD. f you have an after-market stereo/CD-player with a removable faceplate, remove it. Without the faceplate, the unit is less attractive/useful to many thieves, and harder to "fence". If the unit can be pulled, pull it!

ü  Opportunity. Stop and double-check before you step away from your car. Did you miss anything that might tell a thief to take a second look? Remember without a clear prize in sight, a locked and possibly alarmed car will likely be bypassed for an easier "target of opportunity".

ü  Also, APD is advising us that its a good idea to back your car into the drive, especially if its an SUV, so the back window is against the garage, and to mount motion-detector lights above your garage.
