PARK CITY, Utah — The Summit County Sheriff's Office is warning residents and visitors of a recent increase in vehicle break-ins and thefts.
"Vehicle smash-and-grabbers don’t normally take the vehicle itself. However, there is always the chance that a key on the dash or in the ignition may motivate the more daring into outright auto theft," a Facebook post from the Sheriff's Office says.
SCSO offered the following tips to avoid becoming a theft victim:
- Always lock your doors and roll up your windows when you park.
- Make sure your valuables are out of sight.
- Don’t use the console or glove box as mobile lock boxes.
- Activate your security system if you have one.
- “See Something, Say Something”: If you see someone acting suspicious - do not hesitate to call police. You may help catch a potential criminal.
