Sheriff Mike Evans and the deputies of the Calvert County
Sheriff’s Office are crusading again this year for the public to “LOCK IT OR
LOSE IT.” In a concerted effort to
further reduce the amount of theft to personal property, the Lock It or Lose It
campaign advises that you lock your homes, garages and vehicles and remove the keys
and remember to remove or conceal items like purses, GPS devices, or other
valuables. It only takes seconds for a thief to enter an unlocked home or vehicle
and take what they have seen looking in from the outside. Although thefts from autos have increased
nationally, they are one of the more preventable crimes. While we have no way
of measuring how many of these crimes we have prevented, we know we can
increase our success with your help. Our communities have also experienced
thefts from vehicles while parked in their own driveways, so please lock your
vehicle and remove the valuables even while parked there.
