Lock it or lose it

Police are reminding you to remove your valuables from your vehicle when you're not inside and to lock the doors when you're not around.

Officers said it's also a good idea to remove your garage door opener if your vehicle is parked outside so that thieves can't get into your garage or your home through an unlocked door.
