Holidays are important time to "Lock-it or Lose-it"

(SOUTHERN BRUCE COUNTY, ON) – The South Bruce OPP recommends that vehicle owners and operators follow the Auto Theft Protection Tips of the Lock-it or Lose-it program. This becomes especially important during the holidays which are hectic enough without becoming a victim of theft.

The Lock-it or Lose-it tips not only help to prevent auto theft of your vehicle, they also help to prevent the theft of valuable objects that may be left in your vehicle:
 

• Always roll up the windows, lock the door and pocket the key.
• If you have a garage, use it. Lock the door as well as the vehicle.
• Always park in a well-lit area.
• Never leave your vehicle running while it’s unattended.
• Never leave valuable objects in plain view.
• Never leave your car keys in plain view.

A professional thief can steal your vehicle in less than a minute. Don’t make it any easier for him. You’ve worked hard to earn it, so work hard to protect it.
