CRIME PREVENTION TIPS - VEHICLE THEFT
The following information can help you avoid becoming a victim of vehicle theft:
  • Keep your guard up. You don’t have to own a new, expensive vehicle to be a victim of vehicle theft.
  • If you have a garage, use it.
  • Don’t leave your car running and unattended, even to dash into a store or business for just a minute. Not only is it not safe, but it’s also illegal.
  • Don’t leave the keys in the ignition or a “hide-away” box concealed in the vehicle.
  • Close the windows entirely and lock the doors when parking the vehicle.
  • Don’t leave items of value in plain view.
  • Park in high traffic, well-lighted areas.
  • Install a device that locks the steering wheel, steering column, or brakes.
  • Install an anti-theft alarm system.
  • Install a concealed ignition or fuel “kill switch” that prevents your vehicle from being started.
  • Do not keep the title to your vehicle inside the vehicle.
  • Be alert for people who are lingering or casually walking around a parking lot.
  • Be proactive and watch out for the other person. If you see something or someone suspicious, call the police immediately.
