The Lock, Take, Hide Program provides tips and reminders to reduce entering auto crimes in Dunwoody.

Criminals rarely break into a car when there are no visible valuables. Instead, they look inside cars and break into vehicles where they see some potential reward for their risk. Entering autos are almost always crimes of opportunity. If you lock your car, take your keys, and hide your belongings, you reduce the risk of becoming a victim.

Signs promoting the Lock, Take, Hide Program can be seen in business parking lots and property complexes across Dunwoody. Whenever you park your car, remember to:

  • Lock your car
  • Take your keys
  • Hide your belongings

Remember: Criminals are more likely to break into vehicles with visible valuables.

If you are interested in learning more about the Lock, Take, Hide Program or are a property owner interested in obtaining a Lock, Take, Hide sign (free of charge) for your public parking lot, please contact one of our Community Outreach Officers directly by phone or send an Email
