POLICE TIPS

Anyone removing accessories, license plates or gasoline from a car should

be reported.

Anyone peering into parked cars may be looking for a car to steal or for

valuables left displayed in the car.

Persons entering or leaving a business after hours could be burglars.

Safely try to note any vehicles involved and call police.

The sound of breaking glass or other loud explosive noises could mean an

accident, housebreaking or vandalizing.

Persons loitering around schools, parks, secluded areas or in the

neighborhood could be sex offenders.

Nearly half of the burglaries committed are without force, that is,

through unlocked doors and windows.

Always lock your doors and windows, even when leaving for “just a minute”

or when working in your backyard.

Whenever you move to a new home, have the locks changed.

If strangers telephone or come to your door, don’t admit you are alone.

Don’t let any stranger into your home, no matter what the reason or how

dire the emergency is supposed to be. Make the emergency phone call while

they wait outside.
