Crime Prevention Tip from the Tulsa Police

Thieves have found a way to break into your vehicle which may go unnoticed for several days. They take valuable information and documents. If you have a GPS unit, they now know what you drive along with where you live. The next step may be a burglary of your residence. Here is how they are doing it: Thieves locate a parked vehicle having something of value inside. They use a punch tool on the passenger side door just below the handle to punch a small, almost unnoticeable hole in the door. They then gain access to the mechanism that unlocks the door. They unlock the door not setting off any alarm or creating any noise. Thieves get inside your vehicle and take electronic valuables. They also take a check or two from the middle of the check book and even will take one or two of your credit cards hoping it goes unnoticed. They then get into your GPS and find out what you have listed for "HOME". They'll leave the GPS in the car to reduce the likelihood that you'll realize that your car has been broken into. Already knowing what you drive, they can check to see if you are home and then break into your residence. These types of break ins are going unnoticed for several days. By the time you've discovered the crime, thieves may have already wiped out your bank account. Remove "HOME" from your GPS. Use a local business instead. Here is a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or hear someone trying to get into your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.

Car Theft

We received this email from a neighbor and wanted to pass it on to remind everyone to be safe!

Hi Neighborhood Association!

Hopefully this will alert people to be on the watch for suspicious people in our neighborhood.

I wanted to warn the neighborhood to be on the watch for car thieves! My 2008 black 4 door Dodge Avenger was locked in my driveway and was stolen last Friday night or Saturday morning, June 4 or 5, 2010. T

he police found my car yesterday at 5600 E. Admiral and it was stripped. I went to Storey Wrecker last night to see it and was just heartbroken.

I always have my car in the garage, but I just got a new sofa and the old one was in the garage waiting for someone to come pick it up. Needless to say, my alarm is armed at all times now, both storm doors are locked and when I do get another car, it will be in the garage again.

Last summer I had a bicycle stolen out of my backyard. This is my second occurrence, so needless to say this is very sad for me and for my neighbors. I thought I was in a pretty safe neighborhood when I purchased the house in January, 2008, and want to continue living here except without fear.

My house is on 21st Place near Pittsburg.

Please help me get the word out.

Thanks and keep up the good work with the association!
