How to Protect your vehicles from thieves

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT VEHICLE BURGLARIES AND THEFTS
  • Never leave valuables in your vehicle in plain view,
  • NEVER LEAVE YOUR GPS OR THE CRADLE IN PLAIN VIEW, this is the number one item thieves are taking,
  • Use an anti-theft device, such as an alarm system or steering wheel locking device,
  • Whenever possible, park your vehicle in a well-illuminated area,
  • Permanently mark your property with your personal Identification (do not use your Social Security Number, we suggest your Driver License Identification Card No.),
  • Always keep the serial number to your electronic equipment, such as your MP-3 player, Cellular Telephone and Lap Top Computer,
  • Always be aware of your surroundings and of suspicious people loitering in the area,
  • Lock your car doors, roll your windows all the way up and secure your belongings before you at your destination. (thieves are always watching),
  • NEVER ASSUME THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN TO YOU
