When you park your car, close
the windows, lock the doors and take the key with you.
If you must leave a key with a
parking attendant, leave only your vehicle's ignition key.
Install and use
anti-theft devices, whether an alarm or a protective device like a club or
a collar Be sure to activate the device every time you leave your
vehicle.
Park only in well-lighted areas
near other vehicles.
Keep valuables out of sight,
preferably locked away in the trunk.
Don't hide a spare key in a
magnetic key box; thieves know all the hiding places.
At home, if possible, put your
car away in a locked garage, or at least parked in the driveway.lf you have two cars and one of them is
easy to break into, then park it in your driveway so it's blocked by the
other car.
When you park your car, turn the front wheels to the left or right and put the
emergency brake on. This locks the wheels, making it difficult for a thief
to tow your car.
