Today’s Safety Tip
Though it may be chilly in the morning, please resist the urge to leave your car unattended if you warm it up. We have seen a number of car thefts across the city because of people leaving their cars unattended, running and unlocked with keys inside. While it may be inconvenient to get into a cold car, it’s far more inconvenient to have your car stolen, have to file a police report and find new means of transportation.
DISCLAIMER: The following incidents are preliminary in nature and are subject to change after investigation. Please note that the entries listed below do not cover every incident from overnight. The listings are subject to the judgment of staff officers’ sense of what is noteworthy.
