Below are some tips which may be used to avoid being the victim of a car thief • Never leave your car running unattended, even to dash into a business, store, etc.. • Never leave any keys in the car or ignition, inside a locked garage, or in hide-a-key boxes. • Always roll up your windows and lock the car, even if it is parked in front of your home. • Never leave valuables in plain view (GPS devices, lap tops, PDA’s, cell phones, MP3’s, wallets, purses). even if your car is locked. • Always park in high-traffic, well-lighted areas, when possible. • Install a mechanical device that locks the steering wheel, column, or brakes. These devices will deter some criminals. • Investigate the purchase of a vehicle theft tracking/security system. • Never leave personal identification documents, vehicle ownership title, or credit cards in your vehicle. • If you must leave your key with a valet, attendant, or mechanic leave only the ignition key. Make sure you are dealing with a reputable firm. • Many vehicles today come with some type of security system from the factory. Normally there are upgraded systems available if you ask. The best choice is systems that shut off the fuel supply so that a car cant be started or driven. • If your vehicle is stolen, report it to the police immediately. With best wishes…..
