Vehicle Burglary and Theft During the Holidays

Holidays are one of the riskiest times of the year for vehicle burglary and theft in Texas. This time of year brings busy schedules, vacations, and more time on the road that can lead some drivers to let their guard down when it comes to locking doors and hiding personal items.

Remember:

  • Always lock your vehicle and take your keys.
  • Never leave your car unattended while it is running.
  • Park in a well-lit area.
  • Take valuables with you when you are not in your vehicle or keep them out of sight.
  • Give parking attendants the ignition key only.
  • Install an anti-theft device.
