Sadly, our community continues to deal with thefts happening in the overnight hours from mainly unlocked cars. These crimes of opportunity continue because, in most cases, cars are left unlocked. Please protect your belongings by always locking your car doors – whether parked on the street or in our parking lots. And never leave personal items such as cell phones, computers, tablets, GPS units, purses, wallets, shopping bags, etc. in your car.
These crimes, deemed larcenies from autos by the Arlington County Police Department (ACPD), continue. In all cases, whether items are stolen from a car or not, it’s important that you contact police if your car has been broken into. Please report such incidents to the ACPD non-emergency number at 703-558-2222.
