While several arrests have been made, police said that they continue to receive reports. However, in nearly every instance, the victimized vehicle was left unlocked overnight. Take an extra moment when you get home to ensure that you have locked your vehicle. Furthermore, don't leave any valuables visible in your vehicle, and if possible park in a well-lit area.

These efforts combined significantly reduce your chances of falling victim to vehicular burglaries.
