Criminals Target Catholics During Christmas Mass in Upstate New York: Parking Lot Thefts on the Rise

Recent reports indicate that criminals in upstate New York have targeted Catholics attending Christmas Masses, with at least two church parking lots being hit during services. 


While specific details about these incidents are limited, they highlight a broader trend of increased criminal activity in parking lots during the holiday season.


Rise in Parking Lot Crimes

During the holiday season, there has been a notable increase in vehicle-related crimes, particularly in parking lots. For instance, data from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey shows a more than 50% spike in car thefts this quarter, with 23 vehicles stolen from regional airports compared to 15 last year. CBS News

Legislative Measures to Combat Reckless Driving

In response to rising concerns about parking lot safety, New York State has enacted legislation to curb reckless driving in these areas. Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill that classifies reckless driving in parking lots as a misdemeanor, empowering law enforcement to take more decisive action against such behaviors. This measure aims to enhance safety for both pedestrians and drivers in parking areas. QNS


Recommendations for Churchgoers and the General Public

To mitigate the risk of falling victim to parking lot crimes, especially during the holiday season, consider the following precautions:

  • Park in Well-Lit Areas: Choose parking spots that are illuminated to deter potential criminals.

  • Secure Your Vehicle: Always lock your car and ensure windows are fully closed.

  • Hide Valuables: Keep personal belongings out of sight, preferably in the trunk or a concealed compartment.

  • Stay Vigilant: Be aware of your surroundings when entering or exiting your vehicle.

  • Report Suspicious Activity: Inform local law enforcement of any unusual behavior in parking areas.

By adopting these safety measures, individuals can help protect themselves and their property from opportunistic crimes during the festive season.

He defended his decision, emphasizing his role as a senator for all Pennsylvanians, not just those within his party. “If the president-elect invites me to talk, I’ll show up,” he said. “You don’t get to pick and choose who you work with in this job.” His remarks have drawn praise from some for their pragmatism but have raised eyebrows among Democratic colleagues who are wary of Trump’s divisive political history....
