Some of the cabs have been used in crimes.

The thefts have occurred in the west and southwest section of the city and most belong to 215 Get A Cab.

Police want anyone taking a cab to make sure the driver has proper identification. Passengers also should avoid getting into cabs without a dome light or a meter running.
