Community: Thefts from unlock vehicles in Altadena

Thefts from unlocked vehicles have continued in Altadena, it is not an epidemic however it is horrible if your car has items stolen from it. Please make sure that you are remove all valuable items from your vehicle. Most of these crimes could be avoided if everyone locked their car doors and keeps valuables out of sight. Unfortunately it is common to see GPS units, wallets, purses even cash in plain sight inside a vehicle, please help us protect your property.
You want to make your car less appealing to the thief, even hiding valuable items under a towel or jacket does not prevent someone from wanting to go inside your vehicle. By far it is best to lock items in your trunk or remove them entirely.

Don’t have the time to wait for a deputy to show up to your house and take a report?
