As I posted a few weeks ago, there have been several vehicles stolen from driveways in Milton over the past few months. Many of these cars were idling in the driveway warming up while people are getting ready for work.
It continues to happen as outlined in the Champion’s police blotter this week. Theives have been targeting our area for some time now and we have to be more cautious with them. Dont leave your car running unless you have one of the auto starters and once the door is opened its disabled. If you leave your cars running, you open yourselves up to these criminals.
I had someone post on my blog moments after his car was stolen and he wanted to get the word out. Its shocking to read in the Champion of the number of vehicles stolen. Dont let yours be one of them.
In the same police blotter we find that some people are still not getting the message about drinking and driving. You will get caught. Some local papers actually print the names of those charged but the Champion doesnt.
Its dangerous and wrong. Be safe. If youre going out and dont want to leave your car parked anywhere, here is a great company to look for. DDADD. Designated Drivers Against Drinking Drivers.
They are in our area, but at this point dont service Milton directly. The way it works is that you call them up and say where you are. They dispatch two people to come to you, pick you up as well as your car and drive you home. Tell Nicole I sent you. www.ddadd.ca
This is something people should be thinking not only during the holidays, but everyday. Its not worth it.
Drive safe.
