Does your car lock?

If your car is lockable we strongly advise you to take advantage and lock it!
There has been a dramatic increase in the theft of valuables from unlocked cars in the Raceview, Flinders View and Yamanto areas lately.
In fact there have been 18 so far this month alone.
Almost one unlocked car is opened and robbed every day.
If you don’t want it to be your car, you can help yourself simply by locking your car.
People have lost wallets, navigation systems, loose change, and small valuables.
In most cases these thefts could have been prevented just by locking the car doors.
Please remember to – Lock it or lose it!
In most cases when your car is locked, it’ll be left alone.
