Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind, year around:

– Lock up when you leave your car, and take the keys with you.

– Close all windows. Professional thieves have tools that unlock cars through the smallest openings.

– Be sure vent or wind-wing windows are shut tight.

– When you park the car, remove cellular phones, purses, wallets and other valuable possessions.

– Lock all valuables in your trunk or take them with you.

– Lock your car even if you are making a quick stop at the gas station, convenience store or mini-mall.

– If you see any suspicious persons in your neighborhood, or place of business, please do not hesitate to the call the Sheriff’s Station at (661) 255-1121.

– Also, please remember to store your local law enforcement’s station phone number in to your cellular phone.

I encourage you to pass these safety tips along to family and friends, and as always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
