Lawyer in Michigan is reporting a cluster of cars being broken into in Farmington Hills. The break-ins occurred during the day on Sunday October 13, 2013 at the ice arena, Heritage Park, and Founder Park.
The thieves were breaking windows in the cars and stealing valuables that they could see within the vehicles. This was a quick smash and grab operation.
It is best to never leave valuables in your vehicle. If, for some reason, you must leave anything of value in your vehicle, never leave the item(s) out in the open. A person walking by should not be able to tell you have anything of importance in your vehicle. This includes
-
-
- your purse or wallet
- your personal or work identification
- jewelry
- money
- electronic games or devices
- phones
-
Any of these items can be inviting to a thief who is looking for a quick and easy smash and grab. If you absolutely have to leave items of importance or value in your car, lock them in a glove box or storage area or in the trunk where they cannot be seen.
If you are a victim of this type of theft do not touch anything and call the police.
If you have any information of these Farmington Hills break-ins, please call the Farmington Hills Police Department at 248-871-2610.
