Kingston Police recommend that you make it a habit to never leave your wallet or purse inside your vehicle, even for a quick stop. Locked or unlocked a vehicle is not a safe place to leave your valuables. Cancelling credit/debit cards, dealing with potential identify fraud, and going through the process of obtaining new financial cards and identification is not only a significant inconvenience, it can also be a costly mistake.
