| SOUTH VENICE VEHICLE BURGLARIES UP |
|
WENGNews writes, "SARASOTA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES SAY THEY RESPONDED TO SEVENTEEN REPORT VEHICLE BURGLARIES IN THE SOUTH VENICE AREA MONDAY NIGHT ALONE, AND THEY SAY THIS IS PART OF AN ALARMING TREND THIS YEAR. DEPUTIES SAY THERE HAVE BEEN 237 VEHICLE BURGLARIES SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, COMPARED TO ONLY 132 OVER THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR, AND THEY SAY PART OF THE PROBLEM IS US. 85% OF THE BURGLARIES OCCURRED IN UNLOCKED VEHICLES, WITH MANY HAVING VALUABLES IN PLAIN SIGHT, AND SEVERAL HAD THE KEYS IN THE VEHICLE. DEPUTIES SAY YOU CAN HELP KEEP YOUR CAR FROM BEING BROKEN INTO BY FOLLOWING SOME EASY STEPS, INCLUDING CLOSING ALL OF YOUR WINDOWS AND LOCKING THE DOORS, EVEN IN YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY…REMOVING VALUABLE FROM INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE, INCLUDING GPS EQUIPMENT AND SATELLITE RADIOS…AND USING CAR ALARMS. REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY OR PERSONS IMMEDIATELY, AND IF YOU SEE A BURGLARY IN PROGRESS, DO NOT RISK PHYSICAL HARM…JUST CALL AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY. "
