Vehicle Break-In Prevention Safety Tips
Increases in crimes such as vehicle break-ins often correspond with warming weather. The University of Toledo Police Department and the Toledo Police Department are urging students to take precautions to combat thefts from motor vehicles:
• Keep vehicle doors locked.
• Keep windows rolled-up.
• Leave nothing of value in your car.
• If you have to leave an item of value in your car, make sure it is not in view.
• Play music at a reasonable level. Loud music draws unnecessary attention to high-end
or upgraded stereo systems. Your vehicle will be targeted.
Please follow these tips and keep your property safe, whether on campus or off campus.
Be a responsible member of the community. If you see someone suspicious, or have information
on a crime, please report it to the police.
