Avoid Garage Burglaries Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | 79 ° Mostly Cloudy   Avoid Garage Burglaries Warm Weather Opens Possibilities   With the advent of warmer weather and more people being involved with a variety of outdoor activities, the Denver Police Department advises the following tips to reduce the possibility of you being a victim of a garage burglary:      Keep your garage door and any side entrance door to the garage closed and locked.      Be sure your garage door and any side entrance door are in good repair so that they close    completely and lock. Double keyed dead bolt locks are best for side entry doors. If you have an attached garage, keep the entry door from the garage to your home locked. If you have windows that allow a view inside your garage, cover the windows. Be a good neighbor. If you see a neighbor’s garage door open and unattended, let them know. Bicycles are a favorite item stolen from garages. Keep your bicycle locked to a fixed object while in the garage. Record the serial number, makes, and color of your bicycle. If possible, store your bicycle with a wheel or seat removed from the frame. Lock your car while in the garage and do not leave valuables in your car including keys. Do not leave items like golf clubs and ski equipment in plain view from the street. Report any suspicious activity. You can remain anonymous. In an emergency call 911, in Denver for a non-emergency, call 720.913.2000. If you are the victim of a crime in Denver, report the crime to the Denver Police Department.
