In recent months, there has been an increase in reported auto theft incidents involving trucks and SUVs, with a particular focus on the 2022 Dodge Ram. Your security is our top concern, so please take notes of these important tips:
- Stay Vigilant: Watch for any suspicious activity near parked vehicles, especially at night. Your alertness is key.

- Remove Valuables: Keep valuables out of sight or take them with you. Don’t tempt thieves.
