Thefts and Burglaries From Vehicles in the Tuolumne City Area

Tuolumne City, CA....A few Citizens called the Sheriff’s Office on August 14, 2008 in regards to their vehicles being rummaged through, in the Tuolumne City area. A few of the victims also had personal items taken from their vehicle. This is a reminder that Vehicle burglaries and thefts are mostly a crime of opportunity. Keep yourself from becoming a victim; here are a few tips....

Lock your vehicle- Remember that an unlocked vehicle is an easy target and an open invitation to a thief. This includes keeping windows rolled up completely.
Park in a well lit area- this will usually deter a thief from making your vehicle a target. If possible park your vehicle in a garage.

Use anti theft devices such as car alarms and steering wheel locking devices.
Remove personal property from your vehicle- don’t leave cell phones, GPS devices, purses, laptops and bags such as backpacks and gym bags. Remember that these thefts are a crime of opportunity.

Engrave and photograph your personal items- having your serial numbers documented and the item engraved helps identify your property.

If you see any suspicious activity, be sure to contact your local Law Enforcement Agency. In the county areas, call Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office at 209-533-5815.

For any crimes in progress, call 9-1-1, do not take action, you may become a victim yourself. Instead, be a good witness. Get the description of the subject to include clothing, height and build.
