Car Park Watch
The project to establish 'Car Park Watch' across South Yorkshire had three elements to it. Firstly to sign up all car park providers and get them to display the prominent signage as a member of the scheme. Secondly to encourage members to join a radio pager system. Finally to distribute a 'Rogues Gallery' of photographs of know thieves who might be operating in the area.
The second initiative was a campaign encouraging motorists not to leave valuable items on display in their vehicles. 75,000 of the 'Don't Bother' cards were distributed. The eye-catching cards were for display in windscreens to tell thieves that valuables were not left in the car.
