Safe Winter Auto Tips

Safehouse Locksmith wants you to be safe and happy with your car during these winter months, so we have compiled a list of tips to prevent any problems.

• Have a qualified auto mechanic check the condition of your car's cooling, charging and exhaust systems. These frigid temperatures can only exacerbate any faulty parts of these systems. Your car's battery can lose up to 30% of its power when the temperature hits freezing, and 60% if it goes below zero.
• Installing new windshield wipers can make a world of difference if you are caught in a snowfall. Worn out wipers will not sufficiently keep your windshield clear and make visibility a problem. Check that your wiper fluid is full too, because the higher quality fluids will not freeze as easily.
• Remember that all-wheel-drive doesn't mean you are any safer. During snow storms and icy conditions an all-wheel-drive is meant to get your car going, but won't improve your stopping. Slow down and leave extra space.
• Keep a winter kit in your car. If you do experience a breakdown, emergency response times may be slower in these conditions. It is always a good idea to keep a flashlight, warm gloves, warm clothes, nonperishable snacks, a small shovel and a bag of kitty litter in your car. Always keep a cellphone car charger in your car.
• Clear snow from your tailpipe before starting your car. You may want to warm your car up before venturing on a trip, but if your tailpipe is blocked by snow carbon monoxide will build up in the car's interior. Clear the roof as well, since this is a ticketable offense.

Ridgewood NY Thefts

 An investigation led to the arrest of a Ridgewood man on January 9^th in connection with several Ridgewood and Glendale robberies. According to the the Queens District Attorney's office, the man allegedly broke into apartments in the neighborhoods on three separate occasions. The first incident took place on Dec. 17^th when a resident arrived home expecting a package that UPS confirmed delivering. The 27-inch computer monitor was missing and the victim reported it stolen two days later after not finding the package. Based on information during the course of the investigation, police determined that the thief had stolen the monitor and brought it to a pawshop in Bushwick where he sold it for cash. The police were able to recover the monitor and return it to the victim.

Property theft has been on the rise, due to the amount of packages people are ordering through the internet. If no one is home, the delivery service will usually leave the package at the front door. It has become a growing concern for homeowners to ensure their packages safety from outside threats. Companies like Safehouse Locksmith, a Ridgewood NY locksmith, have seen an increasing interest from customers in improving their home security.
