Our Mustang has gotten the official stamp of approval 1 The lower mainland chapter of the B.C. Mustang Owner's Association has requested 25 books for its membership and we will be displaying the car at their February meeting in New Westminster. Almost all the lottery books have been distributed and sales are steadily picking up. Please remember the February 14th deadline for returning your money and ticket stubs. We require any unsold books by this date so that we may get them to the marketing and sales students for sale in the various malls around Vancouver. AND SPEAKING OF CARS We have been having problems again with the underground parking and cars being broken into or tampered with. Just the other week an alert staff member noticed two fellows with a tool box crouched between a couple of cars, shouted at them, and scared them away. The underground is patrolled as much as possible during the day but there are certain things you can do to minimize the risk of having your car broken into. - Close the windows, lock the doors, and pocket the key (80% of stolen cars are unlocked and 40% have the key in the ignition). - Never leave luggage, packages or other easily removed articles in view inside your vehicle. Place valuables in the trunk and keep credit cards in your wallet. - Never hide a spare key under the carpeting or over the sunvisor - thieves know where to looki1 - During hours of darkness, park your vehicle in a well lit area. - Finding keys identified with a name and address is a thief's delight!! The best protection against this type of crime is prevention. Don't leave tempting items in view in your car -- it's almost asking for trouble. Also if you see anyone in the underground who doesn't look like they belong there please contact security immediately! GBC QUOTE FOR THE WEEK . . .
