City Police remind you:
Keep your vehicles locked at all times. Unlocked vehicles are easy targets for criminals
Never leave valuables, such as purses, laptop computers, portable music players or cash, in your vehicles
Do not leave book bags, gym bags or luggage in view as a criminal assumes they contain valuables
Always file a police report if items are stolen from your vehicles. Stolen items are often recovered and are returned to their owner. However, if stolen items are not reported to the police, there is no way for items to be returned to their owner
