VCU Police reminds folks to take the following steps to keep their vehicle and items safe: Never leave your car unattended, unlocked and/or running with the keys inside. It only takes a second for someone to steal a vehicle that’s already running and unlocked.  Always lock your car doors and windows. Thieves will try to open doors or reach in through open windows. Keep laptops, cell phones, purses, book bags and anything else of value in the trunk of your vehicle or take them with you. Do not store spare keys in your car or in your car’s gas compartment. Thieves know where to look for them. If you see people trying to open the doors of multiple vehicles, contact VCU Police at 804-828-1234.
