Citizen’s Patrol Update—A Message From The Omaha Police Department

There seems to be an increase in stolen vehicles in our precinct. Honda’s, SUV’s, and pick-ups seem to be popular. You may have read the recent article in the World Herald that the value of used vehicles has increased lately so that may explain the problem. Tell all of your neighbors to be aware of the problem and to take appropriate action to avoid being a victim. Another issue to be aware of is open garage doors and these two problems can go hand in hand. However, an open garage door can be more volatile since now the criminal is in the house so tell your neighbors to keep their garage door shut even when they are home or just in the back yard; bad things can happen in just a few minutes. Also if you see the following vehicle would you please call 911 and report it, it was involved in an incident in our precinct and was last seen in the 144th & Center Area. Locating the vehicle would be helpful. It’s a white 1999 Jeep 4-door, NE License Plate: RMR 977 and it has a broken window. Take no action other than calling 911. I hope many of you have made plans for your yearly Get-Together on National Night Out, August 2nd, but you can do it anytime. - Thank you, Jim Schulte, OPD, South West Precinct

REMINDER: DO NOT place signs in the entrance islands for various events. This destroys the landscaping material on the islands allowing weeds to grow. This also increases the maintenance necessary to

keep the islands attractive. Your cooperation is appreciated.

CAR TIPSFrom Charlie Graham Body and Service

Staying in Shape!

Keeping your vehicle in good shape doesn’t have to be intimidating. Here are a few things you can check on your own once a month between oil changes.

Checking the air pressure in your tires starts with opening the driver’s door, where there’s a label that shows what the tire pressure should be. To check pressure, unscrew the cap on the tire valve and press the gauge down until you get a pressure reading. Adding air is not big deal; you can go to a gas station that offers air and simply press the nozzle down on the valve like you did when you checked the pressure.

You will need a rag or paper towel to check the engine oil, but it is definitely an easy do it yourself procedure. Have a clean rag handy as you pull the dipstick out, and wipe the end of the dipstick completely off with the rag. Then reinsert the dipstick all of the way in and pull it back out. This time before you wipe it off, look at how high the oil goes compared to the full line on the dipstick. If you need to add oil, make sure that you use the type that’s recommended for your vehicle.

Check washer fluid level by looking through the side of the jug. You can easily see how low it is, and it’s usually very simple to fill it back up.

Check the lights to make sure that they are all working. Many times drivers have something like a brake light bulb that’s burned out and they don’t know it. Ensuring that your lights are working can help you avoid an accident.

You should do a visual inspection of your vehicle once a month as well. Walk around the car, looking for anything else that just doesn’t “look right”, such as a bulge in the sidewall of a tire, a fluid leak under the car, or a light that’s out. Drive the vehicle with the radio off so you can listen for abnormal noises, and pay attention to the way the vehicle handles. If you notice anything abnormal, make an appointment with your mechanic to get it checked out before your next oil change.
