Overview

• Investigators say thieves break windows to enter, start the vehicles, and drive off within minutes.
• Factory-installed GPS units are often disabled, which makes recovering stolen vehicles difficult.
• Thefts have been reported across the West Los Angeles, Pacific, and Wilshire areas.
• No suspect or suspect-vehicle description has been released by police.
• LAPD urges owners to install a hidden secondary tracker, use steering-wheel or brake-pedal locks, park in well-lit areas, consider aftermarket immobilizers or kill switches, and share tips with Detective Given at 310-444-1505 or [email protected].
