The Old Westbury Police Department would like to issue the following recommendations to our residents to help safeguard your vehicles and your property:
- Lock your car doors at all times, day and night, especially if you keep a garage door opener in your vehicle.
- Never leave valuables inside your car. If you do, make sure they are not visible from the outside.
- Never leave or hide a smart key or spare key anywhere in or on your vehicle
- When programming your vehicle's navigation system, do not set your home address as "Home." Label it as something else.
- Utilize sufficient exterior lighting on your home
- If you have a home security system, check that your cameras and alarm are functioning properly.
