Authorities have issued the following tips to car owners:
- If possible, park in a secured garage. If a garage is not an option, park in well-lit areas.
- Remove all items from your vehicle. Leave nothing in plain sight.
- Make sure all windows are up, and doors are secured and locked.
- Use a motion-sensing alarm system and steering wheel locking device.
- Remove garage door openers from the vehicle.
- Your role as a witness is crucial. Please do not confront suspects. Property is replaceable; people are not.
