The Seattle Police Department has produced a new Public Service Announcement aimed to get drivers to park responsibly.

Specifically, it sends the message to not leave valuables in your car, even when locked. Windows can be broken and valuables can be taken in less than a minute.

The Seattle Police Department also has produced a list of recommendations, such as leaving carport lights on overnight, parking on the street near a well-lit area, and requesting the city install a new street light if the area you park at is too dark.
