Protect your valuables!!

Unfortunately, Woodbridge has recently experienced episodes of vehicle break-ins.  Contact the police immediately if you discover that you have been victimized.  We suggest checking with your neighbors to see if anything was seen or heard that may be of assistance to the authorities.  It is also important to notify a board member if you have had a theft.  This will allow the Board to keep the community updated on these type of incidents and hopefully prompt residents to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings.  Additional law enforcement assistance may be sought as needed.  The following are suggestions that may help you avoid being victimized -

  • Make sure your vehicle is locked at all times.
  • If you have a security system in your vehicle or home, make sure that it is working.
  • Do not leave anything of value in your vehicle(s). 
  • Turn on outside lights at night.
  • If outside light bulbs appear to be burned out, check to see if they have been loosened.
  • If light bulbs are burned out, replace them.
  • If light bulbs on pole or carport lights are out, please report to the office at 277-7287 or a board member.
  • Make sure all entry points of your home are locked at night and when you are absent.
  • Lay a security bar, wooden dowel or broom stick in the patio door track so the door cannot be opened.
  • Do not leave purses or wallets in view from outside windows or doors.
  • Close blinds on windows and patio doors at dusk in order to block views into your unit. 

Take precautions and be alert to prevent crime in our neighborhood!!
