Keeping your Car Safe

[Image: Preventing Crime]

Most car crime is opportunist and you can reduce the risk by vigilance and relatively cheap precautions.

  • Don't leave any belongings in your car. If you can't take them with you, lock them in the boot out of sight.
  • Security mark your stereo and if it's removable, always take it with you. Make a note of the serial number and keep it in a safe place.
  • Don't leave credit cards or cheque books in the glove compartment.
  • Don't leave your mobile phone visible.
  • Never leave your vehicle documents in the car - they could help a thief to sell it.
  • Remove the ignition key and engage the steering lock when parking - even in your own driveway or garage.
  • Always try to park in a well lit, open location.
  • Double-check that all car doors, windows, sunroof and boot are locked before leaving it. Retract your aerial to prevent it being vandalised.
