Don’t make it easy for car thieves.
Want to make your vehicle less attractive to car thieves? The quicker a car thief can steal your vehicle, the more attractive it is.
What you can do:
Keep your vehicle locked at all times, even while driving.
When parked, never leave your keys in the car.
Close all the windows and the sunroof.
Never leave your car running and unattended.
Avoid leaving valuables inside your vehicle where passersby can see them.
Know where you’re going.
Avoid known high crime areas even if the alternate route takes longer.
Install an anti-theft system in your vehicle if it doesn’t have one.
Thieves are reluctant to steal vehicles if they know the cars can be recovered quickly. Many insurers offer discounts for these types of systems.
