 Hi, I'm Constable Steve Dollywall from the Vancouver Police Department block watch. I want to provide you a few tips on how to prevent a thepher model. A thepher model can take place at any time of the day. It only takes a few minutes for a thief to break in and steal your valuables. So what can you do to prevent this from happening to you? One, remove it. Remove all valuables from your vehicle, even if you're leaving for a short time. Number two, hide it. If you can't take your valuables with you, hide them in the trunk. Three, lock it. If you're part of the VPD block watch program, you can get one of these decals to place on your window or on your rear view mirror. As a reminder to remove everything from your vehicle, it also sends a message to the thief. If you would like one, contact your block watch office today. Until next time Vancouver, stay healthy and stay safe.
