  1. Can someone please explain to me why some people don't lock their cars? Do they think they're in Mayberry or something??

    1. Crime Prevention Starts With YOU!

      What’s your first line of defense?
      ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS!
      Officers take reports daily from people who have not locked their car doors and find someone has been in their car, something missing from their car or their car missing all together. Locking your car doors is your first line of defense.

      How do you protect your valuables?
      TAKE THEM OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE!
      The reason people steal personal belongings from your car is because they see something they want. Remember, what is not valuable to you may be the object of their desire. PLEASE take the extra time to physically remove your CD player, blue tooth, laptop, GPS, CDs, purse, radio, etc. from your vehicle. Remove any empty bags or briefcases to relieve the criminals’ curiosities. Clean the GPS suction cup circle off of your windshield.

      Render your car UNATTRACTIVE!

      What can you do to help?
      Suspicious activity is any person, noise or event that doesn’t feel right to you. Report suspicious activity by calling 703-691-2131. The information you provide may be a crucial link to solving a crime in your area.

  2. I hope those were the same juvies who were stealing stuff inside cars in Broyhill Crest, glad they finally got caught.

    1. It's too bad there's nowhere else you could live…I'm sure your current neighbors wouldn't miss your attitude.

  3. A locked car was broken into on Evergreen Lane about 5 pm on a week day. Items were stolen. Even being locked does not keep out thieves.
