Vehicle Security Tips
Most car crime is preventable. Police are making a concerted
effort to tackle car crime and target offenders, but motorists need to
help themselves avoid becoming victims by removing the opportunity for
crime in the first place.
- Don’t leave anything on display - it’s a prime invitation to passersby. Even an old coat or plastic bag can tempt a thief. If items have to be left in the car, put them out of sight at the start of your journey
- Get a music system that’s removable or has a front that can be taken off and remove iPods and MP3 players
- Driving documents and personal correspondence could help a thief to sell your vehicle or provide a cover story if stopped by the police - do not keep these in your vehicle
- Some car thieves break into houses to steal car keys. Always keep the keys in a safe place. Don’t leave them in the hallway or kitchen, as these are the obvious places
