PREVENTING CAR PROWLS Half of all downtown car prowls occur in parking lots and garages! Car prowls are ever increasing...the most prevalent crime in Seattle. Toyotas and Hondas are the cars of choice. Please help prevent car prowls by following these tips:

Always lock your car and close windows/sunroofs, even if you're only gone a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING IN SIGHT IN YOUR VEHICLE. That includes coins, packages, CD's, sunglasses, cellular phones, duffel bags, and even an empty paper bag.

REMOVE ITEMS – VALUABLE OR NOT. Alarms still are a deterrent. Park in a well lit area.

Results of interviews with Offenders:

Any vehicle is a potential target Any time is a good time Majority of offenders peer into the vehicle first

Note: Offenders often wait 2-3 weeks and return to the same vehicle if the “pickings” were good the first time.

REPORT……REPORT……REPORT all car crimes to SPD, your employer, garage and building management and security. SPD will not personally respond, but your reports to 9-1-1 help determine the following year’s budget for SPD and also allow for better tracking of specific problem areas within the city.
