‼️Stay vigilant. Secure your Jeeps‼️

🚨 JEEP GLADIATOR THEFT ALERT 🚨

The South Texas Auto Theft Enforcement Task Force (S.T.A.T.E.) has noticed a concerning trend involving the theft of Jeep Gladiators. We’re asking owners to stay alert and take steps to help protect their vehicles.

🔒 Use a steering wheel lock. A visible anti-theft device can help discourage thieves.

🔑 Remove spare keys and valuables. Never leave them inside your vehicle.

📍 Consider additional protection. A properly installed kill switch may help prevent a vehicle from being started.

🚗 Lock your vehicle every time and park in a well-lit area whenever possible.

Together, we can make it harder for auto thieves to succeed. Stay vigilant, take precautions, and share this message to help protect our South Texas community!
