GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Let the shopping begin.
Green Bay Police Captain Kevin Warych says it will be a good chance to put one of their latest missions to work.
“We launched a program earlier in the summer called Like It, Hide It, Keep It. So if they Lock It and Hide It, they are going to keep their stuff.”
Earlier in the year, police responded to multiple reports of theft from vehicles. Warych says the Christmas season is the time when that occurs because many are traveling with valuable items in their vehicle while Christmas shopping.”
“Hopefully that phrase catches on. If people lock their cars, they reduce their chances of becoming a victim. If they lock their cars and hide their stuff, they probably double their chances.”
He says they are also taking to tell businesses to make it part of their Christmas shopping routine to remind customers that they should take the necessary time and steps to help from becoming a victim of Scrooge.
“We want to make sure people have an enjoyable holiday season but we want to make sure they know that if they lock their cars and hide their stuff comes the most important goal, they are going to keep their items.”
