Beat 1 (northeast Roseville)
Taylor Road/Galleria Blvd/Creekside: We are having a lot of smash-and-grab vehicle burglaries in our hotel and restaurant areas, where thieves look for backpacks, laptop bags, work equipment and other valuable items left in sight in the vehicles, smash the vehicle windows and take them. Please don’t leave valuables visible in your vehicles! Even a student’s backpack full of school supplies is intriguing enough that a thief will smash the window and take it. Leave your valuables at home, take them inside with you, or hide them in the trunk or covered cargo area BEFORE you get to your destination.

Tip: Who steals 20-year-old cars? Car thieves often target older sedans, because they’re quick and easy to steal. If you depend on one of these good old cars for transportation, park it inside the garage if possible, and protect it with a highly visible auto theft deterrent, like a “Club”-type steering wheel lock. Thieves looking for a quick and easy ride will give your car a pass.
