Years may pass but the threat of certain crimes always remains the same. An unlocked vehicle is just as big a temptation to an opportunist thief today as it was half a century ago. This is one of a series of Manchester City Police crime prevention posters from - we think - the 1950s. The simple but eye-catching design and bright colours are somewhat reminiscent of the famous Ladybird series of books for children. The image is from the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives but the message is every bit as relevant today as it was when the posters were produced.

Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life. You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
