Keep vehicles locked

We’ve been handing out these fashionable key chains at all our summer events, in hopes it serves as a reminder to get into the routine of locking your vehicle whenever it is left unattended. 

Keep vehicles locked, and always be vigilant of suspicious activity.  Call us as it occurs, as this gives us the best chance of catching thieves in the act.

We need all eyes & ears open to prevent theft in our community!  If you see it, we’ll come investigate it.

Thieves target unlocked cars because they make easier targets.  They try to maximize the time they are in Walker neighborhoods, and will typically leave locked cars alone. 

We do occasionally see a smashed window, but those are usually because thieves see something of high value, car keys readily accessible, or more recently, if it’s a Kia or Hyundai.

Best practice is still to lock it up!
