Protect Your Car from Carjackers - And Maybe Save Your Life

Carjackers threaten armed violence, or worse. But you can help protect yourself and your car by taking some simple precautions.

  • Before getting into your car, pay attention to your surroundings and be alert to nearby activity

  • Always approach your car with your keys in hand

  • Always check the back seat before opening your car door

  • Make sure doors you left locked are still locked when you return

  • If someone is loitering near your car, don't approach it

  • Once you're in your car, keep your doors and windows locked

  • Carry a cellular phone and know your emergency numbers - Non emergency (703) 385-7924, Emergencies 911 and #77 for Virginia State Police

  • Avoid high-crime areas, especially after dark

  • Be wary of people who approach your vehicle to ask for directions or change, or to hand out flyers

  • When stopped in traffic, leave enough distance from the car in front of you to pull away quickly if necessary

  • Stop only at ATM's that are well-lighted and visible from the street - pull as close as possible, then check your mirrors and look outside before opening your window

  • If an armed carjacker confronts you, don't resist - get out of your car quickly; it's better to lose your car than your life.
