WEEKLY PREVENTION CRIME TIP
IT’S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT SERIAL NUMBERS OF VALUABLE ITEMS WITHIN YOUR HOUSE ARE RECORDED. THE PAPER/BOOK THAT YOU USE TO WRITE DOWN THE NUMBERS AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ITEM(S) SHOULD BE STORED IN A SAFE LOCATION.
IN THE EVENT ONE OF THOSE ITEMS ARE STOLEN, EITHER FROM WITHIN YOUR HOUSE OR FROM YOUR CAR, IT IS EASIER FOR POLICE TO LOCATE THE ACTUAL OWNER WHEN IT IS RECOVERED.
