Weekend Vehicle Burglaries Reported In Lamorinda

LAMORINDA, CA — Moraga Police have issued a warning to the community after several vehicle burglaries were reported Friday and Saturday nights. Surprisingly, the police department reports the thefts have been from unlocked vehicles.

They say, "Thieves are prowling neighborhoods and looking for crimes of opportunity. Unfortunately, they found a great deal of opportunity in our Town."

To make sure that you aren't the next victim, police released these tips:

• Do not leave cars or your house unlocked at night or when unattended.
• Do not leave keys, wallets, gym bags, briefcases or other items of value...or items that a thief might think is valuable...in your unattended car. If you have to leave them in the car, secure them out of sight in the trunk.
• Garage door openers can provide easy access into your home for a thief...is it secure?
• Please check your security camera footage for Friday and Saturday nights and report any suspicious activity to the Moraga Police.
• Report suspicious persons to the Moraga Police. What is suspicious? Do you see something out of the ordinary? It probably is not a normal thing for someone to be casually strolling down your street at 1 a.m. and checking car doors.

Police emphasize that if Moraga is seen as an easy target, it will draw even more criminals to come here and commit crimes.
