Peachtree City Police Remind Residents to Protect Cars

The Peachtree City Police Department is reminding residents to protect their cars at all times.

On Aug. 14 and 15, between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m., numerous items were stolen from autos and garages in the Heritage Subdivision, located on Highway 74.

There was no forced entry to any of the cars and garages (residents had left their cars and garages unlocked or open). Stolen items included radios, money, a laptop, GPS units, an IPod, wallets, and alcohol.

Peachtree City Police wants to remind residents and visitors of the following tips:

* Keep vehicles and homes locked.
* Do not leave valuable items in vehicles.
* Call the police if you see any suspicious activity, or hear suspicious noises.Be aware of you surroundings.

Thieves will watch areas and will target cars, homes, and people who make themselves easy victims. Keep this in mind when placing packages, purses or valuables in the car – keep them out of sight, or better yet, remember that . . . The safest place for valuables is on your person or secured in your home.
