Mesa Police Share Friendly Reminder: Here Are the Top 5 Ways to Prevent Package Theft This Holiday Season
MESA, AZ — As holiday shopping ramps up and parking lots fill with busy shoppers, the Mesa Police Department is sharing a helpful reminder to keep your belongings safe. In a message released along with a video from Mesa Police, officers outlined five simple things everyone can do to prevent package theft from their vehicles.
With so many people out picking up gifts, groceries, and last-minute holiday items, police say thieves are also on the lookout — but a few easy habits can make a big difference.
Here are the Top 5 Tips Mesa Police recommend:
1️⃣ Hide valuables out of sight
If someone can see it, they can steal it. Toss shopping bags and packages in the trunk or cover them up.
2️⃣ Park in well-lit, busy areas
Thieves don’t like attention. Stick to spots where you’ll be easily seen by others.
3️⃣ Always lock your doors and windows
Even if you’re just running inside for a minute — lock up. It only takes seconds for someone to grab something.
4️⃣ Make extra trips home
Got a car full of purchases? Swing home and unload before heading to the next store.
5️⃣ Report anything suspicious
If something feels off, let police know. Your call might stop a crime before it happens.
Mesa Police say these simple steps can “help stop thieves in their tracks” and keep the holiday season merry — not stressful.
Stay safe, stay aware, and enjoy the season, Mesa! 🎄✨
