STEALING PROPERTY FROM CARS Police are very concerned about the stealing of property from cars, In the main this crime takes place due to the car owners own fault, goods are left on car seats for all to see, windows left open, doors unlocked. In some cases it has been reported that drivers leave their engine running and go into a shop, long enough for the car to be stolen or valuables removed. This problem is in front of our eyes for all to see, next time you go into a shopping centre or a walk past cars parked around the beach areas take a casual look you will be surprised. The items you mostly see are laptops, handbags, sun glasses, and many other items of value. So make sure YOU do not become a victim remove all valuables from your car and place them in the boot out of sight. ------CREDIT CARDS I know we have spoken about credit card security before but I think a reminder is timely. Members of the public are still being caught out and losing hundreds of dollars. When you go to an ATM withdrawing cash from your account make sure you cover your hand over the keypad when you enter your Pin. It has been noted that devices have been fitted to some ATM machines by crooks and once they have your Pin it does leave you open to criminal activity. It is still the safest plan when withdrawing cash to go to the bank teller, I know this is not always convenient that is why we have ATMs, but safety of your money is paramount treat your card as a very valuable part of your handbag or wallet.
