Many neighborhoods in District 25 are forming Block Watches.  The Block Watch Program is an active partnership between the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) and area residents to increase community awareness and crime prevention. The Neighborhood Watch Program is a vital network that provides each resident with the knowledge and resources to fight crime.  In an effort to strengthen Block Watches, I will be sharing reported crimes that have occurred in the Third Division which protects District 25.  In addition, crime prevention tips will accompany the crime trends in an effort to fight crime.

If you are interested in forming a Block Watch, please call me at 574-1125.

Auto Theft Prevention Tips

1.      Lock your car doors and close your windows.

2. Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you do, make sure they are kept out of plain sight — hide them under a blanket, or better yet, lock them in your trunk.

3. When transporting valuables, place them in the trunk before you get to the location where you intend to park. Don’t transfer them at the parking place in open view of other people.

4. If you have a garage, use it.

5. Don’t leave your garage door opener on the dashboard or front seat. Put it in your glove box, hide it or take it with you.

6. Always park in a well-lighted area.

7. Use slide or portable mounts on add-on radios, citizens’ band radios (CBs), tape decks and telephones. When you leave your car, put them in the trunk or take them with you.

8. Mark radios, CBs, tape decks, telephones, batteries, wheel covers and tires with an Operation Identification number. If the stolen item is found later, the number can be traced back to you. To enroll in Operation ID, contact Community Crime Prevention/SAFE at 673-3204.

9. Remember: briefcases, sunglasses, clothing, keys, gyms bags and small change are all tempting to a thief.

10. Leave only the ignition key with the parking attendant in a commercial parking lot.

11. Keep your driver’s license and vehicle registration with you. Left with the car, the documents can be used by a thief to impersonate you when transferring the car’s ownership.

12. Car keys left at home (or at your business) should always be hidden. This will help prevent the theft of your vehicle if you are burglarized.

13. There are locks made for various marketable parts of cars. Battery locks, wheel locks and special tape deck lock mounts can save these items plus any damage that may occur in the process of stealing them.

14. Install a locking gas tank cap to help prevent gasoline theft and limit a thief’s driving range to one tank.

15. Park the front wheel turned sharply to the right or left, making it difficult for the professional thief to tow your car away backwards.

16. With front wheel drive cars: When you park, pull on the emergency brake and place your vehicle in Park. If you have a stick shift, pull on the emergency brake and shift into forward or reverse gear. All four wheels will be locked, making it difficult for a thief to tow your car.

17. Call 911 as soon as theft occurs.

The summer is winding down, and soon students will be headed back to school! Chances are, you still have some major “back-to-school shopping” to do. Whether your child is headed to high school or college, the Better Business Bureau has some Back-to-School basics.

When shopping for anything from new attire to electronic items, BBB has these tips to help you be a savvy back-to-school shopper:

1.      Ask about returns and refunds. Shopping for new clothes, accessories and gadgets is one of the highlights of going back to school. When buying new gear, ask the store about their return policy and always keep the receipts. Stores are not legally required to exchange an item or give a refund.

2.      Keep the item in its original box. Many retailers will not accept returns on opened video games, CDs, software or DVDs. And health regulations prohibit returns of hats and other intimate apparel.

3.      Ask about restocking fees. Some merchants charge a restocking or “open box” fee — sometimes as high as 20 percent of the original cost — for returns of electronics products or large-ticket items. Ask if that is the policy so that you know before you buy.

4.      Shop smart online. Find out the physical location and phone number of the merchant. Read the refund and return policy, have in writing any warranty or guaranty details, be familiar with delivery/shipping costs and time schedules, feel comfortable that the merchant is reliable and not the subject of consumer complaints, and be able to trust that any information you submit to complete the sale transaction (credit card number, etc.) will be treated with the proper care.

5.      Carefully check out businesses and deals before signing anything, before paying any money up front, and before releasing any personal or financial information (this includes your Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, credit card, banking account number and other personal data).

If your child is in the market for a computer, BBB recommends doing your research:

• Decide what your child’s needs will be;
• What is the computer going to be used for? Word processing, graphic/web design, gaming?
• Determine what type of hardware and software that will be required;
• Find out what you have to do if the computer breaks down;
• Check out the warranty on the computer;
• Call your school or university and ask what other students in the class use;
• Compare prices, and check out the companies with the BBB at www.bbb.org;

If you are thinking about allowing your college-bound student to sign up for a credit card, do your homework.

• Shop around for the plan that best fits your student’s needs. There are often special offers for students;
• Compare terms and fees before you agree to open a credit card for your student.
• Find out the interest rate on the card, are they introductoryrates, and if so, how long do they apply?
• Are there annual fees?
• Check into the transaction fees and any other charges that could be incurred.
