‘Sliding’ is a crime that you may be a victim of… Here’s how to protect yourself.

Do you have what it takes to protect yourself from ‘sliders’? If you don’t know what (or who they are), now is the time to find out about them.

Thieves get creative when it comes to stealing things. If you think this only happens in the movies, think again.

‘Sliding’ is not that fun activity that kids do on slides or inner tubes in the snow that comes to mind. It’s a criminal activity where thieves quickly slide into open or unlocked vehicles, steal as many things as possible in a short amount of time, and leave.

This happens a lot at gas stations while people are pumping gas and leave their doors open. And police are reminding those who are pumping gas at self-serve stations to lock up while outside their vehicle.

Police also remind motorists to leave their most important valuables at home. Thieves can not only steal money, but they can also steal your identity as well.
