In the release, police asked Calgarians to help prevent these types of crimes by:
- Locking vehicles, garages, windows and doors;
- Hiding or removing valuables, including garage door openers;
- Not leaving vehicles unattended with the keys inside;
- Reporting any suspicious activity to police immediately.
