Alert

Police remind drivers not to leave running cars unattended. Throughout the county, four to five unattended, running cars are stolen each day.

People who warm up their cars on a cold morning while leaving them unattended should be alert to car thieves. The Sheriff’s Office reports that it is not uncommon for two or more people in the same car to drive around neighborhoods looking for an unattended, running car. When they find one, one of the thieves will approach it to make sure it is unoccupied and steal it. Car thieves also may walk or jog down streets, pretending to be out for some exercise.

“Ninety percent of these stolen cars are recovered,” said Lt. Bruce Unger of the Regional Auto Theft Task Force. “Most of the thefts are committed by people looking for transportation for the day, or just for thrills. It’s definitely a crime of opportunity.”

Cold report: Any report made to the Police Department after the fact.
