Make sure your Car doesn’t get broken into with these simple steps…

Image result for car breakinVehicle theft seems to increase more and more every year, but why have these incidents happened?
Well, more and more items are being left out in plain sight inside vehicles for potential thieves to see!

If possible, always make sure that you park your car inside a garage or behind a gate. Should this not be possible, then you need to make sure that anything of value is not left inside your vehicle.

You never know who is watching and waiting, so if you have to leave things inside your vehicle then make sure they are locked safely in your boot before you park your car.

Here’s how to secure your car properly…

  Ø  Try your best to keep your vehicle in good working condition so you don’t have to deal with breakdowns – this makes you vulnerable to attack!

  Ø  Your vehicle should have a petrol tank cap that locks and secures properly.

  Ø  It is best to get an alarm system or immobilizer for your vehicle.

  Ø  If possible, get a gear lock or steering lock – this may seem old school, but it works!

Try your best to never leave these items in your car…

     ·         Your car’s registration papers
     ·         Any form of document that gives your name, address or other personal details
     ·         Firearms
     ·         Laptops, tablets, smartphones, cameras, GPS devices, other electronics, etc.
     ·         Your car keys, gate remote or house keys
     ·         Wallet or money
     ·         Clothing / handbag / backpack / suitcase

If possible try your best to take anything of value out of your vehicle; you don’t want to be stuck in a situation where your car gets broken into because you left your favourite jacket on your front seat!
