Yakima Police Warn You of Auto Theft – Quick Tips

As temperatures drop, auto theft goes up! Here are a few tips to keep your car safe this time of year.

One of the main reasons why cars are stolen in Yakima is people who warm up their car, keeping it going with the heat on, then running back inside. This is an open invitation for your car to be stolen. After all, you already started the car for a would-be thief.

This time of year, a car gets stolen just about every day. Sometimes more than once a day.

Car theft is preventable! Although options include getting a remote starter or just braving the cold while your car heats up, what do you do to help prevent this? Tell us in the comments.
