Tips to Protect Your Car

  1. Always Lock Your Doors

    • It may seem obvious, but many people forget to lock their doors, even for quick errands. Always secure your vehicle and avoid leaving your keys in the ignition.

  2. Don’t Leave Spare Keys in the Car

    • Hidden spare keys are a gift to thieves. Avoid leaving extras in your car, no matter how well-hidden you think they are.

  3. Install a Tracking Device with a Remote Kill Switch

    • A tracking device with a remote kill switch allows you to track your vehicle’s location and disable it if it’s stolen. Many systems include an app for real-time updates, making recovery easier for authorities.

  4. Consider a Wheel Lock

    • A wheel lock can deter thieves by making it much harder to drive away. While not foolproof, it adds another layer of protection.

  5. Park in Well-Lit Areas

    • Thieves target cars in dark, isolated areas. Park in well-lit spots and avoid leaving valuables in plain sight. If necessary, store them in the trunk.
