Just as we are taking steps to combat thefts from vehicles, we ask the community to protect themselves by doing the following:
- Park in well-lit areas
- Always lock your vehicle
- Do not leave ANY valuables (e.g. loose change, GPS, gym bag, purse/wallet, charging cords, garage remote, or sunglasses) in your vehicle or in your trunk. Suspects have been known to break windows, fold the back seat, and access trunks
- Do not leave cell phones, iPads or laptops in your vehicle. Thieves have been known to locate signals from these devices even when they are in “sleep mode”
- Criminals often target rental cars, so do not leave any valuables in your rental car while it is parked
- Report suspicious activity by calling 408-615-5580. In-progress incidents should be reported by calling 9-1-1. Do NOT confront suspects. Instead, be a good witness
