Car break ins at funeral homes

If you saw the paper this morning you saw the article about this. This happened in N. Ridgeville. Sadly, it happens all over. There were not unlocked cars. They actually smashed the windows out of the cars.

LADIES if you take a purse with you then take it WITH YOU..where ever you go. Purses were stolen out of these cars. If you don t feel you need to take it into the funeral home, then leave it home.

GENTLEMEN do not leave wallets in the cars.

NO ONE should leave anything of value in their cars..its just an easy target. Also, watch what you leave in the ashtrays. Many don t smoke anymore and use the ashtray to hold money, jewelry or keys. Just because its closed doesn t mean they won t enter your car and check.

CEMETARY: This is another hot spot for theft. People get out of their cars to go to the grave. Many leave belongs in the seats and many do not lock the doors. While you are at the gravesite, most of the time with your back to your car, it s an easy target.

The best defense is to lock the car. There s is nothing you can do if they opt to smash your window, but most just look for an unlocked door.
