Lock Cars Securely
in Summer Months
Motorists on tour are among the
most frequent victims of thieves who

the Oregon State Motor association.
Usually well filled with luggage,
garments, and other valuables, tour
ist cars are an inviting field for the
attention of thieves, it was pointed
out.
Tourists as well as other motorists
with valuable contents in their cars
should park in public garages rather
than on the streets, the motor asso
ciation suggested.
"The hundreds of thousands of
dollars lost each year by motorists
because of theft results largely from
failure to lock cars and close all
windows securely," the statement
continued.
"In addition to closing all win
dows and setting the catches on all
doors before locking the car, the
motorist should also see that the

the car securely it is wise to take
all valuables from inside the car
and lock them in the trunk or lug
gage compartment.
"Always see that the spare tires
and other accessories are of the type
that are either locked or permanent
