Remember to Lock Up

Neighbors, please remember to lock cars and doors. A recent minor theft serves as a caution to us all. An unlocked car or home is an invitation for theft. My professor used to say, "Locks are there to keep honest people, honest." Which is to say that most crimes are crimes of convenience. Only a serious thief will break and enter, partly because the jail sentence goes way up. Another way to think about it is...you only need to lock up the things you'd like to keep!
