Police: Follow the 9 p.m. routine

Do you have a 9 p.m. Routine?
The phrase refers to a law enforcement program that reminds property owners to remove valuables from their cars and trucks, every night, and make sure vehicle doors and trunks are locked.
Valuables can include cash and checks, personal electronics, weapons and even paperwork that could be used by someone who would want to steal your identity.
Also, turn on outdoor lights and lock doors and gates to your home.
Don’t help criminals victimize you or your family.
As Miami-Dade Police like to say, lock it or lose it!
