Terrace RCMP say that while summer in the Northwest means lots of outdoor fun, there’s nothing fun about having your stuff stolen.
Police are reminding residents that they see increased thefts this time of year; property left in carports, backyards, and at summer properties are prime targets for thieves.
Mounties say that includes boat motors, boats and trailers, personal water craft, dirt bikes, scooters, and ATVs.
Investing in some good locks, not storing items on trailers, buying a trailer lock that cannot be cut by bolt cutters, and regularly checking on a seasonal property if left vacant are some ways to deter thieves.
