Your Automobile

• Do not leave your car running while unattended.
• Keep your car locked at all times.
• Remove or store valuables out of sight. Do not leave purses, briefcases, golf clubs, packages, cellular phones, personal papers, wallets, gym bags, audio equipment, CD's or sunglasses in view as this increases the chances that your car will become a target.
