With the holiday season in full swing, the Dufferin (OPP) is reminding residents about the importance of the Lock It or Lose It program. This initiative aims to reduce thefts from vehicles, a common concern during the busy shopping season.
The Lock It or Lose It program encourages people to take simple but effective steps to protect their vehicles and personal belongings. By ensuring that vehicles are always locked, valuables are hidden, and purses or bags are kept close, individuals can significantly lower the chances of theft.
Key Benefits of the Program:
Reduced Risk of Theft: Locking vehicles and keeping valuables out of sight makes it less likely for thieves to target your car.
Peace of Mind: Shoppers can enjoy their holiday experience without worrying about the safety of their vehicle or belongings.
Promotes Safety: The program raises awareness in the community, encouraging a culture of vigilance and responsibility during high-theft times like the holiday season.
Thefts from vehicles tend to increase during the holiday season, as shoppers leave gifts and other valuables in plain view. The Lock It or Lose It program aims to minimize this risk, urging the community to take a few extra moments to secure their property.
Residents and visitors in Dufferin County are encouraged to participate in this simple yet impactful initiative to ensure a safer, theft-free holiday season.
