Windsor, CO – The Windsor Police Department urges residents to take extra precautions following recent car break-ins in the Old Town neighborhood. Officers remind vehicle owners to lock their doors, keep valuables out of sight, and avoid leaving keys inside their vehicles to deter potential thieves.
How to Keep Your Vehicle Safe
- Lock Your Doors – Always secure your vehicle, even if parked in your driveway. Roll up windows to prevent easy access.
- Keep Valuables Hidden – Avoid leaving wallets, electronics, or bags in plain sight, which may attract thieves.
- Never Leave Keys or Fobs Inside – A surprising number of car thefts happen because keys are left in an unlocked vehicle.
- Park in Well-Lit Areas – Criminals are less likely to target vehicles in brightly lit or busy locations.
Ongoing Investigation in Old Town
Police are currently investigating multiple vehicle break-ins that occurred this past week in the Old Town neighborhood south of Main Park, near Oak St., Locust St., and Chestnut St. Authorities are asking residents who may have seen suspicious activity in the area to come forward with any information.
