YOU CAN HELP PREVENT CAR THEFT

Jul 10, 2003

The police are putting the ?“heat?” on car thieves and you can help.

Phoenix Police urge you to take part in the HEAT or Help Eliminate Auto Theft program by making your vehicle difficult to steal.

They recommend that you:
* Lock your doors and roll up your windows when you park.
* Park in a well-lit and well-traveled area.
* Take your keys with you.
* Hide valuables in the trunk if you must leave them in your car.
* Store the title in a secure place, NOT inside the car.
* Memorize your license plate number and have it immediately accessible.

Police suggest, too, that you have your vehicle identification number etched on the windows of your car and consider using a steering wheel lock, an alarm, a vehicle tracking device or kill switch. You can also enroll your car in the AZ Automobile Theft Authority?’s Watch Your Car Program. The program provides stickers for your car that allow police to stop and investigate the vehicle if it is being driven between the hours of 1 am and 5 am., the hours that most cars are stolen.

To enroll or for more information, call 1-888-668-4433 or visit www.aata.state.az.us on the Internet. . .☺
