Vehicle break-ins and thefts are one of the most common crimes reported in San Francisco! Due to the recent increase in auto break ins, please review the following tips for your vehicle’s safety. Please be sure to read the following tips to help minimize the chances of being target. (Taraval Police Station will also be distributing reminder cards on unattended parked cars about vehicle break-ins.)
- Don’t leave ANY personal or valuable items inside a vehicle
- Lock all valuables inside the trunk BEFORE arriving at your destination.
- Doors should be locked and windows rolled all the way up.
- Use anti-theft devices like “The Club” or an alarm system.
- Removable stereo systems should never be left in a vehicle.
- GPS mapping devices – dash or windshield mounted should never be left in a vehicle. (Some thieves may even look for a telltale mark of a suction cup from windshield mounted GPS!)
