Deputies remind people of the following steps to lessen their chances of becoming a vehicle burglary victim:
- Take a few extra minutes to ensure your vehicle is locked and alarm is activated, if installed. LOCK IT OR LOSE IT!
- Don't leave anything valuable in your vehicle. If you have to store valuables in your vehicle, lock them in the trunk completely out of sight.
- Park in a well-lighted area close to the front of businesses where more people are likely to see if something suspicious occurs.
