As temperatures fall and drivers get more likely to warm up their cars before hitting the road, a reminder from the 黑马磁力 RCMP:Don鈥檛 leave your vehicle running unattended, ever.
鈥淪adly, thieves are aware of this practice and are watching for you to make this exact mistake,鈥� Cpl. Holly Marks said.
Last winter in the North 黑马磁力 area a mother was dropping her children off at daycare and left two children in the vehicle with the engine running.
She was standing not ten feet from her vehicle when someone drove away with her two children still belted in to the rear seats.
The thief quickly realized she had unwanted cargo, put the vehicle in park and fled on foot.
Should you feel it necessary to warm your vehicle prior to driving, you may want to consider researching and / or installing Command Start or Secure-Idle after market devices, Marks said.
鈥淜eep your vehicle secured at all times when unattended,鈥� Marks said.
鈥淐hildren and animals, unlike belongings, cannot simply be replaced.鈥�
