From Spokane C.O.P.S. VEHICLE SURVEY - DID YOU PASS? What did you leave laying in your car’s front or back seat? This morning when you arrived at work or school, parked and locked your vehicle what did you leave laying on the front or back seat of your vehicle? Riverpoint Campus Security in Spokane, Washington recently surveyed over 700 vehicles that were parked in the parking lots throughout campus and the following list is what they found just by looking through the windows of the vehicles: 60 vehicles contained laptop computers, I-pods, digital cameras, PDAs, video cameras 131 vehicles contained personal mail, textbooks, school supplies, magazines 82 vehicles contained CDs, DVDs, thumb-drives 289 vehicles contained wallets, purses, backpacks, currency, clothes, garage door openers 170 vehicles nothing was found Most vehicle prowls occur because items are left in plain view for the thief to see and the items can be easily accessed. The safest way to protect your vehicle and your belongings is to hide these items in places that cannot be seen by the prowler. During this holiday season when you are shopping on your lunch hour place your purchased items in your trunk before returning to campus. If you should witness a vehicle prowl in progress: DO NOT CONFRONT THE PROWLER! Call 911 and report the prowl to the police. If it is safe to do so, get a good description of the prowler Race Height Weight Build Clothing (hat, shirt color and fit, pants color and fit, gloves, shoes) Items that would make him/her stand out Direction of travel Do not leave anything in your vehicle that you do not want stolen if it should get prowled. Remember to secure your vehicle by rolling up windows, locking all doors, trunks, hatches, bed-mounted tool boxes, and canopies. Cars are not the only victims of theft. Bicycles are stolen as well. Citizens can register their bike with their nearest C.O.P.S. substation. They will put a numbered sticker on the bike for identification purposes. Click here to find your substation. spokanecops.org/
