"Car Shopping"

None of us want to dwell on possible criminal activity when on vacation but in some cases it is prudent to do so.
"Car Shopping" is what young people like to call theft of items in unlocked cars. Electronics, money and other items of value that maybe inside ones car. From the WDPD:

"Every year the City of Wisconsin Dells, like other police departments across the country, experiences a rash of thefts from motor vehicles. Thieves, usually in their late teens to early twenties, enter UNLOCKED VEHICLES and steal electronics, money and various personal items.

So common is this practice that young people who engage in this form of criminal activity often refer to it as “CAR SHOPPING”. Though these thieves are usually caught, much of the stolen property has been sold or destroyed and is never recovered. These thefts are easily prevented by removing items of value and locking the doors to your vehicle."

Lock your car doors!
