Thefts From Vehicles
Posted: Tuesday, August 14, 2010
The lees summit police asked us to forward these suggestions on to all homeowners. Also please review the crime report for Monarch View that has been added to the left side of our web site.

Recent reports from our Patrol shift (the officers on the front lines) have indicated a continuing issue with thefts from vehicles. Thefts generally increase during warm weather months when pedestrian traffic is high, especially during the overnight hours.

Please follow and distribute these safety tips:

1. Remove valuables from your vehicle and lock the doors/roll up windows (GPS Units, iPods, laptops, etc are "hot items" right now).
2. Don't leave vehicles running unattended.
3. Park in your garage, if possible. Otherwise, park in a well-lit area.
4. Leave exterior lights on at your house/apartment after dark (especially lights over the driveway).
5. Call 911 when you hear or see suspicious activity.
