| Community: #LASD Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff- Summer Crime Prevention Tips From Your Westlake Village Laison Lieutenant Hi Pepperdine Libboard, TITLE: SUMMER CRIME PREVENTION TIPS- VEHICLE BREAK-INS Lieutenant Jennifer Barsh would like to remind you of a few ways you can protect your vehicle from break-ins during these summer months. NEIGHBORHOOD VEHICLE BURGLARIES Suspects typically prowl on foot during the warm summer nights and early mornings, looking for unlocked cars with valuables left on display. Some suspects actually come prepared with tools to break into cars that have items left on the seats and dashboards. Here are some tips to help try and prevent car break-ins in your neighborhood: *Make sure all vehicles are ALWAYS locked and secure. *Make sure all vehicles parked overnight are left in driveways or in lit areas, if possible. *Remove ALL personal items such as GPS's, clothing, containers, cell phones, etc. TRAILHEAD BURGLARIES Since these suspects are typically from out of the area, they tend to spend much of the day at trailhead parking lots scoping out vehicles in the area. They break into cars after owners have left for their hike, knowing that the owners will be gone for a while. These types of break ins usually result in credit card fraud and identity theft: *Make sure vehicles are ALWAYS locked and secure. *Remove ALL personal items such as GPS's, clothing, containers, cell phones, etc. *Be aware of your surroundings before leaving for a hike. Be aware of persons sitting in nearby vehicles, and persons who do not appear to be dressed for a hike. *Trust your instincts. If you are ever unsure, CALL THE POLICE.
