Avoid Vehicle Break-Ins: Lock it or Lose it!

As a common practice:

• Always secure your vehicle.

• Park cars in your driveway rather than on the street.

• Park your cars inside your garage at night.

• Never leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running.

• Remove any items of value from your car or lock them in the trunk.

• Activate your car alarm

• Take your garage door opener in the house if you are not parking in your garage overnight.

Please report crimes immediately as well as any suspicious activity to the Sheriff's Office non-emergency dispatch at 813-247-8200. For emergencies, please dial 9-1-1. Be Safe!

Rick Wan, head of the neighborhood watch program, coordinates with  Block Captains who have taken on the task of contacting you to verify information for our directory as well as adding any safety measures you have taken (RING doorbells, cameras, lights, etc.).   Our list is not complete and is a “work in progress,” so if you have not been contacted as yet, please reach out to Rick @ (813) 846-7911 or your Block Captain. The list of Block Captains can be found in the About Tab under Board and Contacts.

Remember to use the “Our Magdalene Grove” Facebook Group to post any pictures or videos of suspicious activity.

***Once you submit your post please contact Paul Gillispie right away via text @ (909) 217-8469 with a short heads up for posting approval. 

*Ring Doorbells, Cameras and Motion Activated Lights are the best deterrents.*
