• Do not leave valuable items visible in your car. Car Burglary and theft from unlocked vehicles is a crime of opportunity, be sure to keep your car clean from any clutter.
• Don’t think your dark tinted windows will hide your valuables. Thieves often use flashlights to see through tint.
• Close all windows and lock all doors before leaving your vehicle.
• Park in well-lit, heavily populated areas.
• Make a copy of your registration and insurance, and keep them in your wallet or purse. Then remove all forms of identification from your vehicle. Anyone with permission to drive your vehicle should also have a copy of the registration and insurance with them to furnish to the law enforcement if necessary.
• Do not leave garage door openers in parked vehicles.
• If you are parking your vehicle for several days check on it periodically.
• Inspect your vehicle regularly, thieves often times will remove license plates or replace them with stolen plates from stolen vehicles or take vehicle registration tabs.
• Secure truck tail gates- tail gates are stolen due to the ease of removal.
• Catalytic converter theft is on the rise, get your converter engraved with some sort of identifying number on it.
