Vehicle Theft Prevention

Theft of automobiles and of valuables left inside automobiles can usually be prevented by following these simple precautions:
  • Never leave your vehicle with the engine running or Never leave keys in the ignition, even for a moment.
  • Always lock all doors and windows of your vehicle after entering and exiting.
  • If possible install loud alarm systems in your car, so that thieves will be discouraged even if they manage to break into your car.
  • Never leave an identification tag on your key ring. Thieves may use it to locate your home or car.
  • Never hide a spare key in the car, thieves know where to look for it.
  • Never leave personal identification or valuables in the vehicle. Lock all valuables in the trunk. Don't tempt thieves by leaving packages, cameras, or purses on the seat.
  • Mount tape decks and CD players inconspicuously. If you have a portable phone in the car, use mountings that allow you to take the equipment with you or at least store in the trunk for safekeeping.
  • Park in well-lit, busy areas for your own safety as well as your car's.
  • Engrave removable accessories such as stereo's, CB equipment, telephones etc.
  • Consider buying smooth, non-flared locking buttons for your car doors.
  • A variety of other devises are available to safeguard your vehicle, i.e. hood locks, alarms, and kill switches to prevent hot wiring.
In case your vehicle is stolen

  • Report the theft to the nearest police station.
  • Inform your insurance company
