The Current Reality Of Vehicle Thefts (Data from 2025): Vehicle thefts aren't going away. Our data shows that in 2025, over 50% of stolen vehicles were taken because the keys were left inside or the car was left running unattended.The Top 3 Ways Cars Are Stolen Today: 1️⃣ The "Quick Run": Leaving the engine running while popping into a convenience store or gas station. 2️⃣ The "Warm Up": Leaving the car idling in the driveway on cold mornings. 3️⃣ The "Spare Key": Leaving a key fob in the center console or glove box of an unlocked car.The Bottom Line: The most frequent reason for car theft today is opportunity. You can reduce the risk of theft by over 50% simply by taking your keys with you and locking your doors every single time.Let’s work together to drive these numbers down. Lock it. Hide your keys. Stay safe.#PoliceData #CrimePrevention #LockItOrLoseIt #CommunitySafety #DataDriven ... See MoreSee Less

Cheektowaga Police Department
The Cheektowaga Police Department in conjunction with the National Highway Safety Administration would like to remind everyone to please not drive distracted. April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month so please do your part to help keep our roadways safe. Some of the mottos we would like to share with the public from the campaign that may resonate with drivers on the roadway are:-Notifications are temporary. Fines and injuries aren’t. Keep your eyes on the road, not your phone. Put the Phone Away or Pay.-A split-second glance can turn into flashing lights — or an emergency. Stay focused to avoid a ticket, or worse. 💸🚑 Put the Phone Away or Pay.-Your feed will still be there when you arrive, but your safety can’t wait. Put the Phone Away or Pay. ... See MoreSee Less
