    “In this case, offenders sought to capitalize on crimes of opportunity, and were able to steal a large number of uninsured vehicles from citizens and businesses in Calgary.”

    The Calgary Police Service launched Operation Cold Start on the same day that details of the above incidents were released. The annual information campaign is in response to a noticeable increase in car thefts during the winter months in Calgary.

    Police have the following tips to prevent theft from cars left unattended while running:

    • Never leave spare keys or garage door openers in or around your vehicle.
    • Never leave a running vehicle unattended if the keys are inside the vehicle or if the vehicle is started with a keyless ignition or push button.
    • Use a remote starter whenever possible and keep your vehicle locked.
    • If you warm up your vehicle with the keys in the ignition or with a push button start, stay with your vehicle.
    • Use a steering wheel lock to deter thieves.
    • Never leave children or pets in a running vehicle.
    • Do not leave valuables, including identity documents and bank cards, in a vehicle.
    • Report suspicious activity to the police immediately by calling 403-266-1234 or 9-1-1 for crimes in progress.
