Between 3rd and 4th November, vehicles parked on the B4009, near junction 6 of the M40, Watlington Road, Lewknor, were broken into. Offender(s) smashed windows to gain entry and stole property including a stereo, CD, Sat Nav and a disabled badge.
Theft from vehicles is an ongoing crime and we have suffered offences in the area over the last few weeks. Try these simple ideas.
- Always take your personal items with you when you leave your car.
This stops car thieves from smashing your windows to steal items. If you
can't take your personal items with you, lock them in the boot. Don't
leave personal items in your glove box.
- Never leave the following items anywhere in your car: removable
radio fronts, portable satellite navigation systems ('Sat Navs') and its
mounting cable, mobile phones, golf clubs, iPods, handbags, laptop
computers and briefcases, cheque, credit and debit cards, items of
clothing, driving documents and personal correspondence.
- When you leave your car, leave your glove box open to show that
there's nothing in there.
Basically remove any valuables from your vehicle and leave nothing on display when your vehicle is not in use or when left unattended. It is not just the loss of your personal items, but the inconvenience, time and costly repair to your vehicle.
