Are your valuables VISIBLE?

 Prevent a car burglary!

The last thing you need is to find your vehicle’s window broken or missing items.  We suggest taking these simple but important steps to maintain your car’s safety: 

• Place items out of sight before reaching your destination or move them inconspicuously.  This includes packages and gym bags.
• Park in well-lit areas.
• Lock ALL doors even if you plan to be gone for a brief time.
• Set any alarm or anti-theft device.
• NEVER leave your car unattended with the engine running, even if only “for a moment.”
• NEVER leave the vehicle registration, documents or checkbook in the car.
• NEVER place hidden keys in the car.

If you see suspicious activity, report it to (310) 458-8491, our Communications Center. 

Please note that 9-1-1 on a cell phone connects you to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), NOT our police department.  Use the above telephone number to reach us by cell.

Do NOT confront individuals.  Your life is precious, items can be replaced!

BE AWARE, BE A GOOD WITNESS
