Crime Prevention Tip of the Week
|
Thefts of autos -- and thefts from autos -- have been the most common crime in our neighborhood the past few weeks. Saint Paul Police point out it takes less than 20 seconds for professional thieves or joy-riders to break into your vehicle and drive off -- especially if you make it easier for them.
- The No. 1 rule to avoid becoming a victim: Lock your car and take your key with you every time you leave -- even if you're out of the car "just for a minute." That's especially true this time of year if you are leaving the car running to "warm up" before you go somewhere.
- To further protect yourself: Never leave an identification tag on your key ring. If you do that, and your keys are lost or stolen, it could help a thief burglarize your home, too.

- In the big sporting event in town this week, the North Star Roller Girls host a bout at the Coliseum on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 7 p.m.
- Getting a little more publicity is the presumably frigid NFL playoff game between the Vikings and Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, Jan. 10, at noon at TCF Bank Stadium. That means parking and shuttle buses will be swarming the Fairgrounds' Robin Lot along Randall Ave.
