Not everything recovered from a stolen vehicle is what you'd expect. This spiked bat was found inside a vehicle recovered by investigators. Auto crime isn't just about stolen cars, it can also involve weapons and other criminal activity. #IMPACT #AutoCrime #CrimePrevention

Filling up the tank… and leaving your car wide open ⛽ It only takes seconds. While you’re focused on the pump, a thief is looking for opportunity. Open windows, unlocked doors, valuables in reach. Lock your doors. Close your windows. Stay aware. #ThinkLikeAThief
