It’s that time of year again and Wiltshire Police is feeling very festive. We want to make sure you have a good Christmas and don’t become a victim of crime. Remember that criminals look out for presents in cars and under Christmas trees so please remember to keep them completely out of sight. With increased shoppers on local streets, there are inevitably more vehicles in car parks - don’t let your vehicle be an easy target by following the advice outlined below: • Don’t leave Christmas presents or other valuables like laptops, mobile phones, handbags, credit cards, cheque books or vehicle documents in your car. If it is unavoidable - place them in the boot and ensure equipment is completely switched off • Remove Satellite Navigation systems and clean away suction marks on windows • Make sure car doors, windows and sun roofs are all properly closed and locked • Remove Satellite Navigation systems and clean away suction marks on windows • Make sure car doors, windows and sun roofs are all properly closed and locked • Remove your stereo if you can - mark it with the vehicle registration number if you can’t • Leave your glove box open to show that there is nothing in it • Leave absolutely nothing on show - you may know that there is no wallet in your jacket, but a thief will break a window just to check • If you own a van, make sure you remove tools overnight and display an appropriate sign in the rear window making this clear.
