SILVER LAKE — Police frequently mention that many thieves don’t have to break into cars – they simply open unlocked doors. A surveillance video posted on the LAPD Rampart Division Facebook page shows two persons trying to open the doors of several vehicles on Descanso Drive as they walk down the street after 1 a.m. It’s a practice the Rampart posting referred to as “door checking.”
The pair eventually walk away out of the camera’s range without much luck. But, according to the Rampart Division posting, the “video evidence of why it’s important to make sure your doors are locked.”
