We've seen a significant increase in these incidents recently, particularly to cars parked outside garages and on the street outside homes. Most of these vehicles were stolen right out of the owner’s driveways. This issue is widespread, making it even more important to share this post with those you know—both within and beyond our community. We need your help to keep our community safe.
