Every summer police see an increase in thefts in seasonal recreational areas.
Property left in driveways, carports, backyards, or out at your summer properties are prime targets for thieves. Items such as boat motors, boats and trailers, personal water craft (Jet Ski’s), dirt bikes, motorbikes, scooters, and ATV’s should be stored and secured properly.
Many summer seasonal recreation items are portable, and valuable and are popular with thieves.
- Do not store items on trailers.
- Clean out your garage so you can use it to store your valuable items inside.
- Purchase a trailer lock that cannot be cut by bolt cutters.
- If you are away from your seasonal property for an extended period of time ensure it is well locked, windows are secured, and valuable items are removed.
- Check your property periodically or make arrangements for someone to check it for you.
