Vehicle Break-Ins
Prevention
Lock Your Doors
Most reports we take of this nature are crimes of opportunity. Don’t be an easy target.
Keep it Clean
Do not leave shopping bags, cases, or gym bags visible. Items laying in your car may draw attention and be viewed as containing valuables.
Conceal Valuables
Before leaving your car take down your GPS holder, IPod, and other accessories. Conceal them in your glove box or other compartment out of sight.
Remove Garage Door Openers
Instead of keeping your garage door opener in your vehicle, take it with you to prevent access to your garage.
Park in Sight
Park your vehicle under a flood light if possible. Try to avoid parking in dark areas concealed by bushes, fences, or shadows.
Close Windows
This will help to prevent a criminal from using a tool to unlock your doors. An open window or sunroof will disable the pressure sensor in some car alarms.
Reporting a Vehicle Break-in
Call the Police
Notify the Police as soon as you discover your vehicle has been tampered with
(919) 552-7110 or dial 911 for emergencies
Do not touch anything
Do not look through your vehicle to see what is missing, this prevents us from the possibility of getting finger prints or other evidence
Time
We will respond as promptly as possible and will be able to provide you a case number before we leave. Investigations take time and most crimes are not solved in an hour as on T.V. We will notify you of any developments in your case as we receive them.
