All Valuables Removed

Prevent vehicle theft

Roll up your windows, lock your doors, take your keys and place an All Valuables Removed placard in your vehicle's window.

By doing this, you'll show would-be thieves there's no reason to break into or damage a vehicle that has nothing of value in it.

You can also pick up the placards at any AMA Centre plus all municipal police services and every RCMP detachment in the province.
