Norfolk Police are giving away free steering wheel locks to Hyundai and Kia owners on Thursday, June 15th from 9am to 11am at the Wawa located at 975 E. Little Creek Road.
The anti-theft devices, also known as steering wheel locks, will be offered to help deter theft in the wake of a social media challenge on how to compromise Hyundai and Kia security features. Norfolk and other cities across the country have noted an increase in theft of Hyundai’s and Kia’s.
To qualify for a free lock, you must own a Kia/Hyundai vehicle with a steel key ignition, be a Norfolk resident, and present a valid vehicle registration. Push button ignition systems are not eligible.
Starting the first day of February, a “love note” from Cupid will magically appear on random doorsteps to kick off this heartwarming event. Inside the note, you’ll find a “Heart” sign and simple instructions to join the fun. For those familiar, this is the same idea as getting Boo’d at Halloween.
A big thanks to all our neighbors who came to the CPRV neighborhood dinner at MJ’s Tavern last month.
To all the phenomenal neighbors of CPRV who generously supported the CPRV Holiday Food Drive, the Social Events Committee and the Civic League Board extend a huge, hearty Thank You!

Porchella is a free, neighborhood jam that will take place in Colonial Place this year, Dec. 30 from 6-9pm. Neighbors offer up their porches to musicians for 30 min concerts by musicians of all types that offer up their talent! It’s basically reverse caroling. 🙂 Bring cash to tip your musicians as they are donating their time and skills! We will also have Venmo QR codes on the porches to make it easier to tip!
