- This last week we saw another upswing in the trend of stolen Hondas, especially overnight. Vehicle thieves and prowlers look for any opportunity; don't give them one. If you own a Honda, or any car, it is important to do all you can to prevent it from being stolen or prowled. Please follow these prevention tips:
- Install and USE a club - clubs can be purchased through the Kent Police Foundation
- Park in well lit areas
- If car has an alarm, be sure it works and is on
- Remove all valuables ALL the time
- Park close to entrances of stores or apartments
- If you park outside your garage, be sure to park in drive way and install motion lights or keep outside of house well lit.
Residential Burglaries of Asian Family Homes Continue
This past week there were 4 residential burglaries of homes of Asian families. These have occurred during the daytime and early evening hours. In all cases, windows by the front door or rear sliders were smashed. We have learned that suspects of residential burglaries look for indicators that homes are owned by Asian families. They look for shoes piled outside the front door or Asian yard/home decorations. In some instances, electronic equipment was stolen, but almost always jewelry and cash. One of the first places they go is to the master bedroom. Please pass the word along to your block watches and other residents that would be interested. It is important to remove shoes from the front porch and to keep jewelry and money in a safe or other secure location. Document serial numbers for all electronics and take pictures of jewelry and keep in a secure location.
