On the occasion of this incident of vehicle theft, the Police reminds and advises car owners / drivers, who are responsible for their vehicles, that they should take care of their safe storage, as well as their keys, in order to prevent access to them and their possible theft.
They are also asked not to leave their car keys exposed in prominent places or in places that anyone can access. They should also ensure that their car keys are kept safely, especially when they are in crowded places, where they are likely to become the object of theft.
Do not leave their car running, even if they will be away even for a very short period of time and never leave the keys in the ignition or door.
Always lock the doors and raise the windows completely, even if the car is parked in front of their house or in another place considered safe.
Always park their car in places where there is enough street lighting. Dark or secluded spots make the work of thieves easier.
