Hi Block Watch teams,
Please secure ATV’s, RV’s and Trailers around your home when not in use. Every year the police are challenged with numerous thefts of recreational vehicles including ATVs, Snowmobiles, Dirt bikes and RV’s. ATV, Snowmobile and Dirt Bike protection: To prevent a theft of your machine try to store it indoors wherever possible. If you leave it outside then chain it or lock it to a stationary object using case hardened locks. If left on a trailer, then be sure to lock it up to the trailer and box the trailer in by another car. Keep your machine in a well lit area, not in the dark. Temporarily disable your machine like taking the battery out or unplugging the ignition cable. RV and trailer protection: • RVs are particularly susceptible to theft since they are usually loaded with items such as cameras, radios, tires, and sports equipment. • The most common site for RV thefts is in the owner's driveway or backyard. • Cover tempting items such as cameras, TV’s, radios and binoculars. • Leave a low-voltage light burning and a radio on when you leave the RV at night. • Pull curtains and blinds shut tight. • Be sure to install good deadbolts and window locks. • If your RV is normally left unattended, loop a case hardened steel chain around the RV's axle and a stationary object. • Do not forget to secure the trailer's hitch. Have an awesome, fun, relaxing long weekend, Crime Free!!!! Happy BC Day Take care, Roy Morgan Crime Prevention & Community Safety Coordinator City of Vernon - Regional District of North Okanagan.
