Ballarat Police Crime Prevention Tip.

Did you know that most thieves are opportunistic?

We often create the easy environment.  Many people leave their car keys in very visible locations, in a bowl, on a key rack and often not far from the garage door, just inside the house.  Car thieves know this as well, which is why they are prepared to break in to houses.

Following a few of these very simple tips can target harden your premises and make it much harder for would be thieves.

• Always lock your vehicles, even when they are left in a locked garage.
• Remove any items of value from the vehicle.
• Make sure doors between the garage and the house are locked, especially at night.
• Don’t leave keys in a predictable location like bowls or key racks just inside the door.
