- Park in open, well-lighted, and populated areas near your destination. Avoid parking near trucks, vans, dumpsters, and other objects that obstruct visibility and provide hiding places. Avoid parking near strangers loitering or sitting in vehicles.
- Park in your garage, if you have one. Don't leave your vehicle on the street, in an alley, or on your driveway. If you have to park on a street, avoid dark or isolated areas.
- Don't leave your vehicle in an unattended public lot for an extended period time.
- Buy a vehicle with interior hood and truck lock releases. Install a secondary hood lock if your car does not have one. Also install a locking gas tank cap.

"Your permission to operate this vehicle is rescinded. You are to stop operating the vehicle immediately. Park the vehicle legally and notify me of the location, so I may recover it. If you fail to comply with these instructions, I will report the vehicle as stolen." (Including language that instructs the borrower to return the vehicle implies further permission to operate the vehicle.)
Keep a copy of the letter and post office documents needed to send it. After the letter is sent, a reasonable period of time should pass before taking further action. Typically, two weeks is adequate for the letter to reach the address and for the person to make contact with you.
If you are not successful in getting your vehicle back, call the Auto Theft Unit and make an appointment to come to the office and report the vehicle as stolen. These reports will not be taken over the phone. You will be required to appear in person and sign the theft report.
