New Canaan Police Remind Residents To 'Lock Or Lose' Their Cars

NEW CANAAN, CT — Police urge New Canaan residents to always "lock" their car or risk "losing" their vehicle.

In a recent Facebook post, police said they want residents to remember a five-word slogan each time they leave their vehicle or home unattended: "lock it or lose it."

According to police, it only takes a second for residents to make sure their vehicle is locked and, by doing so, keep their property safe.

Police also recommend residents bring their car keys inside and avoid leaving valuables in sight.

"Keep the valuables secure inside," police said on Facebook, "and if you have a garage, utilize it."

Activating motion sensor lights and alarms is also recommended, according to police.
