Help protect yourself and your vehicle from thieves by remembering to:
- Lock your vehicle and take out your valuables when leaving it. An unlocked car is an invitation to a thief.
- Close all windows – thieves can open vehicles through the smallest of openings.
- Take your car keys with you. Do not leave them in your car, or leave your car running.
A large portion of auto theft is attributed to vehicles left running and unattended in front of the owner’s own home. Don’t let this happen to you.
