MAKING YOUR CAR UNSTEALABLE
Okay, maybe you can't make your car completely ustealable, but there are three simple things you can do that will reduce the possibilities of having your car stolen.
Here are three simple steps:
- Take the keys out of the ignition
No matter how long you're going to be away from the car, you should always take your keys with you. 20% of the cars stolen in the United States had their keys in the ignition. - Lock your car doors
This sounds like a no-brainer, but 50% of all the cars stolen or broken into had car doors that were unlocked. - Don't leave valuables in plain site
Don't tempt theives. You should lock your valuables in your trunk, take them with you or atleast cover them up so theives can't see what you have to steal.
A LIKELY SPOT TO LOSE YOU CAR
One of the favorite spots for car thieves is church or synagogue parking lots. Theives know you'll be inside for a certain length of time, so they'll be less likely to be interupted. Park in a well lit place then hide your valuables, take the keys out of the ignition, lock your doors. . . and pray.
