IT’S NOT THE KIND OF SURPRISE ANYONE WANTS. YOU START YOUR VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, THEN GO BACK INTO YOUR HOME WHILE THE VEHICLE WARMS-UP. APD OFFICER SIMON DROBIK SAYS THAT’S A BIG INVITATION TO AUTO THIEVES WHO ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE YOUR VEHICLE AN EASY TARGET. HE SAYS THE BEST POLICY IS TO STAY WITH THE VEHICLE WHILE YOU’RE WARMING IT UP.
DROBIK SAYS, WITH THE COLDER TEMPERATURES WE’VE BEEN HAVING, WARM-UP DRIVE-OFFS CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM. HE SAYS 16 PEOPLE WERE VICTIMIZED LAST WEEK AND 13 THE WEEK BEFORE.
