Imagine stepping out of your house to discover that your car has been stolen? The feeling of pain, anger and loss that comes with this is indescribable until it happens to you or someone close to you.

Car Jackers are getting increasingly smarter and savvier, so you also need to step up your protection game.

So, how do you protect yourself from becoming a victim of car theft? The five tips will help:

Never Leave Your Keys in the Ignition

It doesn’t matter if you’re making a quick stop to pick up an item on the other side of the road. No matter how fast you think you’ll be, NEVER leave your key in the ignition.

A running vehicle may be an easy mark for a thief, especially if it is unattended. If your key is in the car, a thief can simply get in and drive off with your car.

Park in Well Lit and Busy Areas

Avoid parking in areas that are poorly lit or places that are not immediately seen by passers-by. Parking in a well-trafficked and lit area may deter thieves as they know that they can be easily seen.

Don’t Leave Valuables in Your Car

One way to attract a thief is to leave valuables like your purse, cell phone, laptop or other valuable items in a highly visible area of your car.

It’s best to leave your valuables at home, but if you must have something important with you, keep it out of sight.

You can put them in the trunk BEFORE you get to where you’ll park because you never know who will be watching you if you move them at the parking lot.

Install a Vehicle Tracker

With an efficient tracking device, your car becomes more difficult to make away with.
