Tips to avoid auto crime
- Keep your spare keys in your wallet,
not in your car.
- Invest in a good anti-theft
device.
- Close windows and lock doors. Take your
possessions with you.
- Avoid parking behind fences or hedges.
- At home, light your driveway all night.
Elsewhere, park in well-lit areas near pedestrian traffic.
- After opening an automatic gate to underground
parking, watch out for thieves waiting to slip inside. Wait for
the gate to close behind you.
- Engrave your stereo and other on-board
valuables with your driver's licence number.
- Install an anti-theft device to protect
your stereo, or buy a unit that's removable and take it with you
when you park.
- If you see any suspicious person or activity
near a vehicle, call the police immediately.
