St. Petersburg Police Department issued the following announcement on Dec. 01.
Lock Your Car Yard Signs
You may notice these yard signs pop-up in your neighborhood. The Police Dept. is placing them in areas that have seen a recent uptick in auto burglaries and auto thefts. We hope they remind you to lock your car and secure your guns and valuables.
We'll leave the signs up for a week or two, then take them down so they won't become a nuisance.
- Most auto burglaries and auto thefts occur to unlocked cars. - So far this year thru October, we've had 159 guns stolen from cars. Those stolen guns end up in the wrong hands and often lead to gun violence.
