Again: Lock Your Car Doors
Four more break-ins to unsecured vehicles reported in Lower Macungie, police say.
It seems monotonous . . . except to the latest victims.
Seemingly each week, police release reports of new vehicle break-ins in Lower Macungie Township.
It would be unfair to expect troopers to be everywhere at one, so their main message has been this: At least lock your vehicle doors to give yourself a reasonable chance to deter theft and keep your items yours. While some thefts from motor vehicles in the township have involved forced entry, the majority of the reports have specified that vehicles were unlocked when entered by thieves.
