休斯敦警察局要求休斯敦的公民在减少城市犯罪方面担任一个积极的角色。您可以把您的财物放在您的车里窃贼不能看见的地方，随身带您的钥匙并锁您的车门。

汽车抢劫偷窃经常最通常是机会的犯罪。如果我们不给机会, 我们就能减少成为受害者的机会。

在多数这些案例里, 财物能由车外看到。多数窃贼不想赌博去打破车，他们却空空手拿不都任何东西。记住, 他们要寻找一件肯定的事。

窃贼常去的地方, 譬如公园, 在那些地方他们知道人们在跑步和锻炼的时候，他们会把他们的钱包、皮夹或钥匙留在车里。

五个要诀去保护您的车和物物。

1. 带着您的钥匙。几乎所有被窃取车20%是因为钥匙在车里。

2. 锁上您的汽车。所有被窃取车大约50%是因为没有上锁。

3. 停车在亮的区域。超过一半汽车偷窃发生在晚上。

4. 不要把贵重物品留在汽车里一览无遗。不要让您的汽车或卡车变成一个窃贼更加中意的目标，不要把贵重物品留在容易看到的视域吸引窃贼。拿走全部的贵重物品和行李。

5. 如果您有一个报警装置, 就使用它。门、敞篷、主干被打开时，大声的报警声响起来。

在我们的市民的帮助下, 我们能通过预防和减少这类型罪行把我们城市的警力转向暴力犯罪的方向去。

The Houston Police Department is asking the citizens of Houston to take an active role in reducing the crime in our city by securing your property in your vehicle where thieves cannot see it, taking your keys with you and locking your car doors.

Vehicle Burglary is most often a crime of opportunity.　If we take away the opportunity, we reduce the chance of becoming a victim.

In the majority of these cases, property can be seen by looking into the vehicle.　Most thieves don't want to take a gamble by breaking into a vehicle where they're walking away empty handed.　Remember, they're looking for a sure thing.

Thieves also frequent areas, such as parks, where they know people leave their purses, wallets, or keys inside or around their vehicle while they run or exercise.

Five tips on securing your vehicle and property.

1.　Take Your Keys.　Nearly 20% of all vehicles are stolen with the keys in them.
2.　Lock Your Car.　Approximately 50% of all vehicles stolen were left unlocked.
3.　Park in Well-lighted Areas.　Over half of all vehicle thefts occur at night.
4.　Don't Leave Valuables in Plain View.　Don't make your car or truck a more desirable target and attract thieves by leaving valuables in plain sight.　Remove all valuables and luggage.
5.　If You Have an Alarm, Use It.　Loud warnings sound when doors/hood/ trunk are opened.

With our citizen's help, we can reduce this type of crime through prevention and redirect the officers of our city to violent victim crimes.　For more information, visit our website at
