The Lock it or Lose it Program.

Provides tips and reminders to reduce entering auto crimes in Dallas.

Criminals rarely break into a car when there are no visible valuables. Instead, they look inside cars and break into vehicles where they see some potential reward for their risk. Entering autos are almost always crimes of opportunity. If you lock your car, take your keys, and hide your belongings, you reduce your risk of becoming a victim.
