The following information was sent by Los Angeles Police Department Senior Lead Officer for Pacific Palisades Brian Espin on Thursday, September 18.
The last week our crime has gone up a bit with some thefts, some stolen license plates and packages. I recommend trying to park your vehicle in a well-lit spot and getting a set of lock tight screws available on Amazon specifically for license plates. These are just a few tools we can use to make it harder for people to take our license plates.
There are couple tips we can you can try to prevent package thefts, including give instructions to the delivery person to hide the package so it’s not visible on the porch or walkway, have a neighbor retrieve your package if you are not going to be home for an extended period of time or have your package delivered to a drop box, i.e. Amazon store or equivalent locker.
- Check your property often (or have someone check it for you) to prevent squatters or someone frequently entering your property.
- Tell your construction crews to secure their tools and equipment to prevent theft. Do not leave tools lying in the back of trucks or unlocked vehicles.
- Have construction crews GPS tag all high-end equipment.
- Place and secure tools and equipment in well-lit areas of the property and monitored by security cameras.
