(NORTH PERTH, ON) – Members of the Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating the theft of a Pickup that occurred sometime during the overnight hours of June 2, 2019 in the Municipality of North Perth.
The pickup, a 2010 Ford F150 King Ranch, white in colour with licence plate 664 5FM was stolen from a rural residence on Line 90.
Below are some simple steps to help reduce the number of stolen vehicles and protect you as the vehicle owner:
Do not leave your keys in your vehicle.
Do not leave your vehicle running.
Lock your vehicle.
Treat your keys like cash – Don’t leave keys in places where they are easy to steal such as a gym locker, on your desk at work, in an open purse or unattended in a shopping cart.
Never leave anything in your vehicle in plain view such as loose change, cell phones, cameras, clothing, gifts, cigarettes, medication, firearms or any other valuables.
Install a remote car starter – Remote starters are designed to shut off if anyone attempts to drive the vehicle without a key. This will allow you to warm up your car without risk of theft.
