The Pascagoula Police Department is seeing an increase in the number of automobile burglaries. But police say the victims are making themselves a target.

Burglars are targeting unlocked vehicles with electronics that can be seen through the windows. They're taking things like GPS navigation systems, I-pods, laptops, cameras and purses.

Police are asking you to make sure you always lock your doors and remove any valuables that are in plain sight. They also say you should record the make, model, and serial numbers of any valuables that you do keep in your car.

Unfortunately crime has risen since after Katrina. This used to be a loving, peaceful small town. Since Katrina and many moved here from New Orleans and the massive population of illegal immigrants that moved here for job opportunities we now hear sirens on a steady basis and jobs are now hard for Americans to get. Just a sad state that is truly typical of what is going on all over our country now.
