Car parking
Follow these simple steps to protect your car .....
· Make sure you park in a well lit area.
· Lock all doors and windows.
· Don’t leave any items on view inside your vehicle.
· Use a steering wheel lock every time you leave your vehicle.
· Remove the stereo if you can
· Don’t keep valuables or important documents in the glovebox. Leave the glove box open to show there is nothing inside.
· Keep your car keys safe, even in your house so that someone breaking in cannot steal your car too.
· Tuck in wing mirrors and put the aerial down to discourage vandals
· When parking at home, always use your garage if you have one, and lock both your vehicle and your garage. If you don't have a garage, try to park in a well-lit, open place.
· On icy mornings, never leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running to warm it up or defrost the windows.
· When shopping don’t return to your car and leave any purchased items in the boot before continuing with your shopping trip. Thieves may be watching car parks for such a chance
