BE ADVISED THAT THE READING COMMUNITY HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A HIGHER THAN NORMAL RASH OF CAR BREAKS. ALTHOUGH THE MOST RECENT CULPRITS HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED, WE ARE STILL ADVISING OUR RESIDENTS TO STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BECOMING A VICTIM, ESPECIALLY AS THE HOLIDAY SEASON DRAWS NEARER:
1.) LOCK YOUR VEHICLES - EVEN IN YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY!
2.) UNPLUG ALL CELL PHONE CHARGERS, PDA'S AND GPS DEVICES AND REPLACE THE POWER PORTS WITH THE LIGHTER OR PLASTIC PLUG TYPICALLY USED TO COVER THIS PORT WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
3.) REMOVE ALL VALUABLES FROM YOUR VEHICLE, BRING THEM INTO YOUR HOME FOR THE EVENING. DO NOT STORE GIFTS OR VALUABLES IN YOUR TRUNK. THE CRIMINALS THINK TO LOOK THERE TOO!
4.) GET A SENSOR LIGHT TO GO OFF IF ANYONE WOULD APPROACH A VEHICLE IN YOUR DRIVEWAY.
5.) CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY IF YOU HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING YOU THINK MIGHT BE SUSPICIOUS. EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OR THINK IT COULD BE NOTHING, CALL US, YOUR INSTINCTS ARE USUALLY CORRECT!
