NEWSLETTER July 2012

Message from The Area Coordinator
Rather worrying statistics this month with the number of vehicle offences sharply increasing quite apart from the number of people who have been booked for speeding, drink and drug driving. Perhaps some of the information given in this leaflet will be of help but the message must be for owners to be much more vigilant in protecting their property. The recent Logan City Council initiative OPERATION BOUNCE BACK to protect those vehicles which do not have immobilisers fitted was a great success in allowing another 100 vehicles to be protected. However too often vehicles are left unlocked or with valuables on show which is too much of a temptation for criminals to break in and steal.
Crestmead PCYC second Grey Light Disco was a hit with participants enjoying music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. We saw the competitive side of many dancers during the dance competitions with a first timer taking out one of the prizes and the 40+ president winning the lucky door prize. Next disco is on 7th September 6pm - 8pm. For more information please phone 3805 4100.
Marsden State School is holding a winter carnival on Saturday July 28th between 10am and 4pm on the school oval. Support one of the local P&C’s in our area and enjoy the fun with or without your children!
If I can be of any help with matters of concern please contact me by email crestmeadnhw@hotmail.com or by using our FACEBOOK page crestmeadnhw
Take care Geoff

VEHICLE SAFETY INFORMATION
· Remember to lock all doors and close windows on vehicles - even when in driveway
· Remove all valuables from sight - lock in boot or glove box and remove GPS AND
holder- if still attached to screen it is obvious that you have one so the car may be broken into
· Do not type in ‘home’ to GPS since if car or device is stolen, the thieves will have an ideal way to find your property to rob whilst you are still looking for your car!
· Lock garage and shed doors even when at home- sneak thieves can take just a moment to get in and steal tools and items of value- do not leave ladders in view since they can be used to break into your home
· Don’t leave your spare key somewhere ‘’handy’’ - under the wheel arch is just too obvious
· Same goes for your keys at home - if a thief can see keys through your security screen door on the hall table - they could just break in and steal whilst you are watching tv or you are in the garden etc
STOLEN CARS ARE OFTEN USED IN OTHER CRIMES
YOUR INSURANCE WILL BE AFFECTED AS WELL AS THE INCONVENIENCE
DON’T MAKE LIFE EASY FOR CRIMINALS
