Remember to lock your vehicle at all times and keep any valuables and indicators of valuables out of sight, even when your car is parked at your house. Many thefts from vehicles are crimes of opportunity. Thieves target particular vehicles because the doors are unlocked or because some overt sign tells them that there's something in the vehicle worth taking. Even if you hide your cell phone, MP3 player, or GPS, other things can tell a thief that such items may be in the car. Things like earbuds, charging cords, and suction cup marks on windows are all indicators to a thief.
