With the changing of the seasons and warmer weather arriving, the Wadsworth Police Department is reminding residents to safeguard their valuables by taking some steps to prevent vehicle thefts.
– Lock any vehicles when left unattended
– Do not store valuable items in vehicles
– If valuables are left inside your car, make sure they aren’t visible
– Park in well-lit areas
Lt. Rob Wyrick says the most common items stolen include GPS units, cellphones, other electronic devices, wallets/purses, and loose change.
“We’re asking for the public’s help to assist us in safeguarding their property, motor vehicles and our city,” Wyrick said in a news release. “We rely on the public to be our ‘eyes and ears’ in any suspicious situations.”
