🚗 Winter Crime Prevention Tip – Stay Safe While De‑Icing Your Vehicle

When de‑icing your car, it’s tempting to leave the engine running while you pop back inside — but this can make you an easy target for opportunistic thieves.

Stay safe with these quick tips:

Never leave your car unattended while it’s running, even for a few seconds.
Keep doors locked and windows closed during de‑icing.
Use a scraper or de‑icer spray instead of idling for long periods.
Plan ahead — allow extra time in the morning so you’re not rushed.
A warm car is great — but keeping it in your possession is even better. ❄️🔒
