Potential Dangers of Car Warm-Up Thefts

Hey Beavercreek, with the snowy weather forecasted, we want to remind you about the potential dangers of car warm-up thefts. Protect your vehicle and keep our community safe with these essential tips:
Lock Your Car: Always lock your vehicle when it's warming up, even if you're just steps away. Thieves can strike in seconds.
Remove Your Keys: Never leave your keys in the ignition. This simple action can prevent your car from becoming an easy target.
Secure Valuables: Don't leave valuables in your car, whether it's running or not. Thieves are more likely to break in if they spot something tempting.
Use a Spare Key: If you have a spare key, use it to start your car while keeping the primary key with you. This way, your vehicle stays secure.
Be Aware: Keep an eye out for any suspicious activity around your neighborhood. Report anything unusual to the authorities.
Let's look out for one another and ensure everyone's safety during the cold season. Share these tips with your friends and family to spread the word and protect our community!
