Keep your car safe while visiting parks

Scottsdale police are asking park users to be aware of what they leave behind in their vehicles when visiting parks. A majority of vehicle burglaries are committed without any force. The following tips will reduce the opportunity of you becoming a victim of a crime:

• Remove all valuables from your vehicle including purses, wallets, laptops, golf clubs and personal items.
• Secure items in the trunk if you are unable to remove them.
• Remove your keys from the ignition and lock your doors.
• Consider installing an alarm system and using a steering wheel lock.
• Enroll your car in the Watch Your Car Program at www.azwatchyourcar.com.
