· Don’t leave shopping bags or packages in your back seat or passenger seat.  They can be easily viewed from the window.

· Don’t leave empty docking stations for your GPS, iPod, and other electronic
devices in your car.  They only tempt a potential criminal!

· ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS! Many of the entering auto cases worked by detectives are the result of someone not locking their car doors.
