Sure, it's not necessarily surprising to hear about that this time of year, but Egg Harbor Township has always been known as a safe and family-friendly place to live. Crime is usually never something EHT residents have to worry too much about. That was true up until now.

The Egg Harbor Township Police Department shared a post to their Facebook page informing residents about the alarming increase in burglaries within the area lately. The good news is, if you can refer to it as "good news," the burglaries that have been reported are in reference to vehicles. It's not uncommon for residents in the township to leave their front doors unlocked while they're home, so you can bet that some of their cars aren't always locked all the time.

Unlike some of the surrounding towns, it seems that Egg Harbor Township residents should also be on high alert now. Even if your car is parked in your driveway, make sure it's locked.

It sounds cliche, but it happens to be true: it's always better to be safe than sorry, wouldn't you say?
