POLICE TIPS
* Parked, occupied vehicles containing one or more persons are especially
significant if observed at an unusual hour. They could be possible
lookouts for a burglary in progress, even if the occupants appear to be
lovers.
* Any vehicle moving slowly and without lights or following a course that
appears aimless or repetitive is suspicious. Occupants may be casing
places to rob or burglarize.
* Apparent business transactions conducted from a vehicle, especially
around schools or parks and if juveniles are involved, could mean
possible drug sales.
* Persons being forced into vehicles -- especially if they are juveniles
or females -- may mean a possible kidnapping. Record the license plates
and call police.
* The abandoned vehicle parked on your block may be stolen. Contact
parking control with a license plate number.
* Place gravel outside windows where you’re concerned about prowlers. The
noise of someone stepping on it will serve to alert you.
