Help Deter Auto Theft & Break Ins

Here are a few simple ideas that can help keep your vehicle safe while it is unattended.

If you are parking your vehicle overnight, choose to park in a well-lit, busy or familiar area.
Report any theft to the police. If items have been stolen from your car, do not disturb the scene. Police may want to dust for fingerprints.
Do not leave valuables visible to anyone who walks by the car. Visible items may attract a window smash and grab.
This might seem like common sense, but lock your vehicle and close all windows every time you leave it. Even in your own driveway!
Is your car on the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s Hot Wheels list of the 10 most stolen vehicles?
