The OPP would like to take this opportunity to remind the public of the importance of securing your vehicles and taking other steps to reduce thefts from vehicles.
The following are some of the simple things that can be done to decrease the risk of being victimized:
- Never leave a running vehicle unattended
- Lock your doors
- Roll up your windows
- Keep your registration and proof of insurance in your wallet or purse, not in the glove box
- Protect your keys
- At night or during extended parking periods, always park in a well-lit area.

- Vehicle left running
- Unlocked doors or trunk
- Bags of any sort (especially shopping bags)
- Visible electronics
- Visible phone chargers
- Loose change in view
- Sunglasses
- Tools
- Watch or other jewellery
