Lock it or Lose it is a campaign we have been involved with for many years. It is an educational program that is aimed at vehicle owners to lock their cars and not leave anything of value in the open. Quite often many vehicles in a neighbourhood are checked and if your vehicle is locked the culprit(s) will move to the next one. This is another example of how you can help us help you and not be a victim of crime.
