- Car thieves hate locks on the steer wheel, clutch or brakes.
- If you don't have a garage, consider installing anti-theft devices (like remote warning or car alarm). These help to deter car thieves. The anti-theft should be installed in a difficult to find location as well.
- Use round or smooth car door latches. This makes it difficult for car thieves to hook the door open from the outside with thin metal wire.
- Consider installing a hidden power lock to prevent other people from driving your car away.
- If you will be leaving your car for an extended period of time, remove the car's platinum contacts, spark plugs and power cables to make things more difficult for car thieves.
- Look for paid off-street parking as they are well lit and watched. Don't just park your car anywhere.
- Cars are often stolen at night. Pick a well-lit and obvious place to park. Avoid dark alleys.
- Have your car maintained or repaired at a reputable workshop. The technician may duplicate the keys and use them to steal the car.
- If renting a car or borrowing a car, pay attention to the other person's character. They might duplicate the keys and steal the car.
- If possible, use brand new parts.
- It is not a good idea to buy cars with an uncertain record just to save some money.
- Don't keep any valuables or portable items in the car.
- Remove the mark from luxury vehicles when you leave the car to avoid having them stolen.
