Lock your car.

That's the message Cedar Rapids Police are pushing this Friday after a number of police reports of cars being ransacked.

According to a Facebook post by the department these aren't a case of, "smash and grab."

Guns, phones, sunglasses, cash and computers are being stolen from unlocked vehicles.

The CRPD's post continues saying, "[They have] seen public parking lots at shopping centers and fitness facilities as popular target areas in the last several weeks."

If you are the victim of such a crime, police urge you to call right away, check for surveillance video and offer up as much information as possible.
