"During this holiday time it is important not to leave valuables in your car," police advised in a statement. "Gifts for return and gifts you brought home from visiting relatives are prime targets for thieves. Take them in."

"Lock your vehicles. Be sure your visitors lock their vehicles.  Most trunks are easily opened from inside the vehicle. If you do place items in the trunk, take the extra step to disable/lock the interior trunk release latch. And report all suspicious persons, specifically at wee hours of the morning," the statement added.
