Stow It, Don't Show It: Update

South Kensington Community Partners

During the holiday season, SKCP originally shared a brochure created by our friends at the 26th Police District to promote automobile security best practices, titled "Stow It, Don't Show It."

We're updating this post to include a video recently shared with SKCP (see below) which demonstrates WHY you should read this brochure and apply the recommendations within.

(Note: If the video does not start playing automatically, right click on the video still and select show controls, then click play.)

Automobile theft continues to remain one of the top types of crime in the area and is largely preventable should you incorporate a few common sense best practices to your daily routine.
