We attended a meeting with the Zone 2 Police on May 2. They stressed that it is really important not to leave anything of value in your car--but, if you do have to keep something of value in your car, put it in your trunk. (Don't let "them" see you put it in there!)
They also repeated the warning that you shouldn't leave your purse or wallet in plain view from an outside window of an unoccupied room of your home with your inside lights brightly burning. It is an invitation to a crook to break the window or door and take your stuff.
When pumping gas for your car, turn the engine off, take the keys and lock your doors. On April 29, the police reported a North Buckhead/Roswell Road incident: The victim left her 2001 Jeep Cherokee unlocked and running while she went in to pay for gas -- a male (no further description) was seen driving away in the vehicle. Why lock your car? Because thieves sometimes come around on the passenger side and open the door and take your purse or laptop computer while you are on the other side pumping gas.
Don't leave the doors to your garage open--it is an invitation to thieves.
When you are shopping in the grocery store, don't leave your purse unzipped--you might not notice that your wallet is gone until much too late.
