After a recent spike in robberies and car break-ins, the [88th Precinct](http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/precincts/precinct%5F088.shtml?ref=bklyner.com) has sent out a crime prevention tip for locals:

> Keep all handbags, laptops and valuable property with you at all times or properly secure them in a locked cabinet or safe. In the event you observe a suspicious person, unusual activity or discover the taking of your property, it is important that you notify the NYPD immediately by calling 911 without delay.
