“Leaving windows open and/or doors unlocked + Valuables left in plain view = Theft from vehicle,” reads the subject line of a recent Fair Lawn Police Department memo. It’s a simple equation, but one many Fair Lawn residents still haven't grasped. As a result, thieves looking for a quick-and-easy payday have been subtracting valuables from unprotected cars at an increasing rate.
