\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>In a recent study conducted by the Denver Police Department along with the Stapleton Cop Shop, SUN, and the MCA, it was learned that residents with their garages left open were five times more likely to get robbed than those left closed. \u201cThis is some surprising, yet convincing evidence that people should be more conscientious when it comes to closing their garage doors,\u201d said Cop Shop operator Jed Logan. \u201cWe had suspicions that this might be the case, but not to this extreme.\u201d\n\nResearch was conducted using surveys of those whom claim to have been robbed, along with police reports. In a vast majority of the cases it was learned that garages had been left open. \u201cBurglars try to take the easiest road if possible,\u201d said Denver Police Officer Mike Hays. \u201cSo, when they see an open garage, they feel it is a great opportunity to get some items with very little effort or risk.\u201d Officer Hays acknowledges that it can sometimes be inconvenient to keep the garage door closed. \u201cIt\u2019s not always easy to push that button and watch to make sure the garage door is going down.\u201d\nConfronted with the new information, Lauren Wharton plans to change her ways. \u201cI have rarely closed my garage door in the past,\u201d says Wharton. \u201cIt just made it easier to get in and get out without having to push any buttons. Now, I am definitely going to make a more concerted effort to make sure our garage door is shut.\u201d Advice Officer Hays strongly agrees with. \u201cResidents should keep their garage doors shut when not in their garages. Oh, and be vigilant. Always be vigilant.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
