Case #16-15347

Over the last several weeks, the Reno Police Department has noticed a trend in the thefts of older motor vehicles in our area.   Some of the most reported stolen vehicles are 90’s model Honda and Jeep vehicles.   

After years of false car alarms, people have stopped paying attention to alarms. Any serious anti-theft device must do more than just make noise. If you want an audio alarm; use it in conjunction with other forms of prevention.

The longer it takes to steal a car, the more attention a thief will attract. Look for devices that are: highly visible, hard to defeat, and will prevent the car from starting or will kill the engine shortly after it is stolen. To prevent "hot-wiring," protect the steering column.

• A kill switch is a simple toggle device that shuts off the engine's ignition system.
• Steering wheel locks are visible from outside the car and prevent the steering wheel from being turned more than a few degrees.
• Collars are devices that prevent the steering column from being stripped.
• Brake locks prevent the brake from being engaged and therefore the transmission cannot be removed from the park position.
• Wheel locks prevent the vehicle from being moved in any direction.
• Etching vehicle parts with your VIN number can also be a deterrent. Professional thieves shy away from vehicles that have had the vehicle identification number (VIN) etched into the doors, windows, windshield, engine block, and other parts.

The goal in preventing auto theft is to establish multiple layers of protection for your vehicle. Thieves are looking for the least path of resistance. Although no method is foolproof, consider where you park, theft prevention devices, and etching. However, spending money on anti-theft devices does not help if drivers don't follow the basic precaution of locking their cars, taking the key, and activating the anti-theft device.

(These numbers are not included in the total HAN arrest/citation numbers)

The Reno Police Department also teamed up with the City of Reno Community Services and Safety Team (CSAST) and conducted spot inspections on 28 businesses with no violations or citations were issued.

This year the City of Reno again partnered with Hot August Nights and the local community to continue the string of successful Hot August Night events.  The Reno Police increased event security by dedicating staffing to the events throughout the City.  We also employed bollards throughout the Downtown Reno venue which inhibited unwanted vehicular traffic in the interior of the event.   

This year the majority of the venues noticed an increase in attendance.  The crowds were extremely positive about the increased safety practices within the event and very thankful for the police presence throughout the venues.  The Reno Police Department would like to reciprocate those positive thoughts and words and thank the community and visitors alike for their continued support and words of encouragement.

The City of Reno strives to enhance the community’s quality of life by promoting a sustainable and vibrant economy. Supporting regional and local special events is just one example. For more information, visit Reno.gov/Events.

Background:

On March 11, 2016, the Reno City Council approved $40,000 in in-kind sponsorship for City services for Hot August Nights, which covers the costs associated with public safety, traffic control, and city personnel. This is the sixth consecutive year the City has partnered with Hot August Nights, reducing City service costs.
