Ridgewood NJ, according to the Ridgewood Police department several vehicles in Ridgewood were vandalized by having their tires cut. The Ridgewood Police are currently investigating these crimes, however would like to take this opportunity to provide some safety tips. Park your vehicles in an area that is either well lit or has motion lights. Do not park your vehicles on the street over night, as it is not only against the ordinance, but easier to break into or vandalize. Park your vehicles closer to your house than the street when possible. If you have a camera system make sure one is pointed near your vehicle. Timers on house lights also give the appearance of someone being home. Always lock your vehicles and bring the keys inside with you. We ask if anyone reviews any of their cameras, even doorbell cameras, and sees anything suspicious to call the Ridgewood Police 201-652-3900
Instead of parking vehicles in obvious places why not drive around….especially at night.
Yes stop parking the car in a the woods for days at a time.
that’s right… blame the victim.
nice.
Not a bad idea to park an empty police car in areas where people usually speed but if you keep it there over night, people get wise and apparently tires get slashed. Hope they catch the perps.
Some kid got bored. When they catch the individual, the judge should give them community service at the central garage to change tires. Sounds great on it.
No one’s blaming the victim, why don’t you grow up amazing.

Blaming the police for parking the car in certain locations rather than blaming the tire slasher IS blaming the victim.
