The South Charleston Police Department would like to remind all of
our residents and visitors to remove items of value from your vehicles
when possible. If it is not possible to remove your valuables, we
highly recommend that you lock your vehicle, especially during the
night. We typically see an increase of theft related offenses
throughout the holiday season and a majority of our break-ins involve
unlocked vehicles. If you see anything, please contact the Clark County
Sheriff's Office Dispatch Center at 937.328.2560. Here are a few tips
that may prevent you from becoming a victim:
1. Keep your car visible and park under a lighted area.
2. Don't make it easy. Keep windows rolled up and lock your doors.
3. Hide your valuables. Many thieves look into vehicles before entering
so keep your stuff out of sight. Avoid placing items of value in your
glove box because the thief will look there first.
4. Trust your instincts. If you see suspicious activity, call the
police. You may be helping keep a neighbor from becoming a victim of a
vehicle break-in.
Thank you. We hope you have a safe holiday season.
