Tips to Keep Your Automobile Secure

 

#1. When shopping or away from hone, always park in a well lit, busy area near your destination
 

#2. Never leave anything in your vehicle in plain view or in a seat. Even if it is an empty box or something of no value. It will cost you money to replace a window if a thief breaks in just to see what you have. Never leave a GPS device on your dash. Disconnect it and take it inside with you or at least put it in the glove box.

#3. Lock your vehicle every time you leave even if it is just for a few minutes. Don't hide a spare key on the vehicle because crooks know the usual hiding places.

#4. Record serial numbers of your Stereo or CD equipment and put a small sticker on a window telling potential thieves that your stuff is marked. This can make your equipment less enticing since thieves know it is harder to get rid of marked equipment.

#5. Put an alarm on your vehicle. While alarms do not always prevent a break in, they are a deterrent.

#6. If you are keeping a parcel or purse in your trunk, out of sight, put it there before you arrive at your destination. If someone is watching when you arrive, they will not see you putting articles into your trunk.

#7. If you have a garage, use it! Park your car in the garage and lock it up, even though it is inside.
