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.

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.
