Don't leave valuables on show

🚗 SMART ALERT – Don't Leave Valuables on Show 🚗

Please be mindful about leaving valuables inside your vehicle, even for a short period of time.

Opportunist thieves can target vehicles in seconds if they spot items left in plain sight. Help reduce the risk by:

✅ Removing all valuables before leaving your vehicle
✅ Keeping bags, wallets, phones and laptops out of sight
✅ Taking sat navs and dashcams with you where possible
✅ Locking all doors and closing windows securely
✅ Parking in well-lit and busy areas when possible

Remember, thieves don't always know what is inside a bag or jacket – they may break into a vehicle simply to find out.

Take it, hide it, or lose it. A few moments of prevention can save the inconvenience and cost of becoming a victim of crime.

If you see suspicious activity around parked vehicles, please report it to Staffordshire Police via 101, online, or call 999 in an emergency.
