🚨 IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY 🚨
🔧 From all of us at Lodge Service Station
Unfortunately, over recent weeks we've seen a worrying increase in the number of customers bringing their vehicles into our workshop following vandalism, attempted break-ins and thefts from vehicles in our local area.
It's incredibly frustrating to see hardworking people having their property damaged or their belongings stolen, and we wanted to take a moment to ask all our customers, friends and neighbours to PLEASE BE EXTRA VIGILANT! ❤️
🚗 A few simple precautions could make all the difference:
🔒 Double-check your vehicle is locked, even when parked on your driveway.
🪞 Fold in your wing mirrors where possible to help prevent unnecessary damage.
👜 Never leave valuables on display, including bags, wallets, tools or loose change.
💡 Park in well-lit areas wherever possible.
📹 Make use of CCTV, security lighting or doorbell cameras if you have them.
👀 Keep an eye out for your neighbours, particularly elderly or vulnerable residents.
📞 Report any suspicious activity to the police. If you witness a crime in progress or someone is in immediate danger, call 999.
At Lodge, we're not just a local business. We're part of this community too, and it genuinely saddens us to see so many people being affected by these incidents.
We work hard to get our customers safely back on the road, but we'd much rather see you visiting us for routine maintenance than because someone has deliberately damaged your pride and joy.
❤️ Let's look out for one another and help keep our streets, vehicles and neighbourhoods safe.
Please share this post with your friends, family and neighbours. A little extra awareness could save someone a lot of heartache and expense.
Stay safe, everyone.
From all the team at Lodge Service Station 🔧🚗
