CBC Calgary has reported that Sunnyside and Hillhurst are seeing an increase in break-and-enters and car break-ins. The police advise removing valuables from vehicles, keeping doors and sheds locked, and not advertising when an owner isn't home (on social media and in the physical appearance of a unit). Keeping lights on timers, closing blinds and curtains when not home, and cleaning up stuff from around units that might attract attention are also good tactics. A good rule of thumb (having learned the hard way before moving to Sunnyhill), make your neighbours place look more attractive to a would be thief. If we all do the same, we can move folks away from the property.
