The theft victim was only gone from her car for 15 minutes to walk her dog. That’s all it took.

In the wake of a month that saw 40 car prowls in the North Bend and Snoqualmie area, Snoqualmie Police remind people to always lock doors and keep valuable out of sight – and park in well-lit areas. Car prowls can happen anywhere.

Car Prowl Prevention Tips

  • Park in a garage or a well-lit area whenever possible
  • Lock the ignition and doors and roll up all windows
  • Car alarms are convenient and effective; avoid isolated areas
  • Park near locations frequently used by pedestrians
  • Install and use removable stereo-electronic equipment and a portable GPS
