With spring around the corner, police are urging you to close your garage door. Police say usually in the spring and summer months, they get ten to twenty garage burglary cases a month. And, most of the time, the thieves are kids.

They go into neighborhoods all over Tulsa. An open garage door is like a gold mine to them. Police say they always see a big increase garage break in's around this time of year, right when the weather gets warmer. They say the thieves drive around neighborhoods, looking to see who left their garage door open. Then, they quickly go in, steal what they can get and take off.

We spoke to one victim who had her purse stolen right out of her car, which was parked in her garage. She says she never thought it would happen to her.

"It was a nightmare. They used our credit cards all over South Tulsa basically."

Another safety tip -- police say lock the door in your garage that leads into your home. They say sometimes the burglars actually go into the house when someone is home. That's the crime police really want to prevent.
