Vehicle crime advice
Of all crimes vehicle crime is probably the most preventable. Taking a few simple measures can protect your car and the property within it from theft.
Basic security
- Lock the doors, windows, boot and sunroof every time you leave your car - even if it's just for a few minutes.
- Never leave the ignition key in an unattended vehicle - even when filling up with petrol.
- Steering locks and alarms - always use them.
- Never leave any property on display in your car - a thief may break in just to see what is in a bag or what has been placed under a coat. Put these things in the boot, or better still take them with you.
- Never leave the following in your car:
- Cheque, credit and debit cards.
- Vehicle documents - these will make the vehicle much easier to sell on.
- Personal correspondence - a thief may use these to prove their identity if stopped by the police.
- Radio / cassette players - always remove these if you can. Make a note of the serial number and keep it in a safe place.
- Etching - have the vehicle registration number etched on to all glass surfaces - including the side windows and headlamps.
Parking - if you do not have a garage always try to park in a well lit, open location.
