As part of a new anti-crime effort to help stem the tide of thefts from vehicles, the Bowie Police Department is placing brightly colored cards on windshields that warn drivers who leave valuables in plain sight.
John Nesky, Bowie's deputy police chief, said that cellphones, portable GPS units and shopping bags are among the items most often stolen. Valuables should be locked in a trunk, glove compartment or console between the driver and passenger seats or stowed under a seat, Nesky said.
Between September and February, the city of Bowie averaged about 29 thefts from vehicles per month, according to police statistics.
