👋 Hey, Castle Rock! For weeks, you've seen our Lock It Up videos. Our goal has been to get residents in the habit of removing valuables and locking up their vehicles every time they leave. Items like wallets, credit cards and cash are obvious items to remove, as are bags like purses and backpacks. 👛💳
But sometimes "valuables" aren't as obvious. Do you remember to remove things like...
📬 Mail
🚗 Car registration and insurance information
🧰 Tools from work trucks
🏘️ And now the big one... garage door openers?!
This summer, we've seen multiple instances where thieves accessed unlocked vehicles and used the garage door opener to then burglarize the garage. Not only can this be dangerous, it can also lead to more financial loss and the overall violating feeling of knowing someone was in your home.
Don't be a victim. Remove all valuables from your vehicles (including garage door openers) when you go to bed. More tips can be found at CRgov.com/LockItUp.
