Safety Reminder: Stow valuables!

Car Break-in at Brushy Peak

I was out at Brushy Peak this weekend for a quick 4.5 mi hike around the main peak loop. After parking, I noticed the SUV right next to me had its window smashed.

Don’t leave bags visible!

A long time ago a friend of mine had her car window smashed, even though it was parked in the driveway of my parent’s house in Danville. As told to me by the police at the time, the common theme was thieves smashing windows and grabbing almost any kind of bag in plain view.

So always remember, never leave any bags in plain sight in your unattended vehicle! Backpacks, purses, lunch bags, gym bags, etc.
