Preventing Car Crime
A parked car is an invitation to any sneak thief, load it with goodies on display and it will be an offer he can’t refuse! 

• Don’t leave property on show

• If possible take all valuables with you, 

• If you have to leave valuables in your car then lock them in the boot where they can’t be seen.

• Lock all doors and windows 

• Check boot lids, hatch backs and sunroofs             

Set the Alarm
Most modern cars have some form of alarm / immobilising system  - but lots of people don’t use them every time. Remember it only takes a minute for a thief to break in. Check it has been activated before leaving your car. 

If your car does not have an alarm / immobiliser system then consider buying one, or at least a steering lock.
