How to Keep Your Vehicle Safe

Car theft is a huge pro le all o er the orld. Here’s ho to ha e so e pea e of i d.

Every week, we hear horror stories about people who lost either their cars or their valuables to car

thie es. But so eti es ou eed to park our ar, a d there’s o safe garage i sight. Here are 5 suggestions that will help you keep your vehicle safe.

a. Lock your car.

This one is obvious. Do not leave your car unatte ded a d u lo ked u der a ir u sta es. Do ’t lea e it ru i g, either, espe iall hile it’s u lo ked or u atte ded or oth! . Also, re e er to lose your windows.

b. Do not leave a spare key near your vehicle.

Many people leave spare keys under their cars or in their mailboxes in case they get locked out. These

are the first places thieves look for spare keys. If you get locked out of your car, you can always call the

police, but if a thief steals it, you might never get it back. If you need to have a spare key somewhere,

leave it with a friend or co-worker.

c. Do not leave valuables or personal property in your car.

Your car is not a safe place to leave your laptop, jewelry, or important personal documents, especially in

a e posed pla e. We do ’t recommend leaving these things in the car at all, but if you must leave

them, use a locked glove compartment. Out of sight, out of mind – the less thieves see of your items,

the less i e ti e the ’ll ha e to hoose our ar.

d. Install and use safety devices.

Good old-fashioned steering wheel locks are a great place to start. These locks prevent the wheel from

moving, even if they can hot-wire the car to start it. Though experienced thieves may know how to

unlock them, why bother? The car next to yours proba l does ’t ha e o e. I additio , o sider higher-

tech anti-theft devices. Your anti-theft device should have an audible alarm; alarms attract attention

when they go off, so thieves look for them and avoid them. Also, a GPS tracking system might not

prevent a thief from breaking into your car, but it may prevent your car from being driven away.

Consider installing one of these higher-te h de i es: the ’re orth the i est e t.

e. Use your emergency brake.

Not only is it good for your transmission to use your emergency brake when you park, but it deters

thieves. Often, car thieves try to roll a car to a darker or more secluded location in order to try to get the

e gi e started. If the e erge rake is i use, the a ’t do that.
