Auto theft remains a serious issue in our community. Protect yourself by taking a few simple, effective steps: • Always lock your vehicle, even during brief stops. • Take your key fob with you; never leave it inside the vehicle. • Remove valuables from plain view — especially firearms, which are frequently linked to violent crime when stolen. • Install visible anti-theft devices such as steering-wheel locks or alarm systems. A few seconds of prevention can help you avoid becoming a victim. #Tucs
