Reminder to lock your car, spike in reports of thefts and burglaries from automobiles!

Responding to a spike in reports of thefts and burglaries from automobiles in Westminster and Garden Grove, Nguyen announced that she had brought together four county and city law enforcement agencies and persuaded them to jointly put up $30,000 to pay for new signs to remind shoppers and residents to hide their valuables and lock their cars.



The permanent signs, which will say “Hide it, lock it or lose it” in both English and Vietnamese, weren’t ready yet, so in the meantime, temporary banners have gone up in parts of Nguyen’s first supervisorial district saying “This holiday season — be safe, protect yourself! Hide your things! Lock your car! Brought to you by: OC Supervisor Janet Nguyen.”

The banners were paid from the same $30,000 put up jointly by the the county sheriff and probation departments and the Garden Grove and Westminster police departments. Beneath Nguyen’s name, the logos of the County of Orange and each participating agency appear.
