CAR PROTECTION

Tips on how to protect your vehicle:

If you are a car owner, you will understand that it plays a vital role within your life. So it is only natural to want to protect your vehicle. As your car is so important, were it to be stolen, the thief would also take away not just your car but also much more. This can mean missing work, school, or important appointments - even losing income.

No anti-theft device makes a vehicle 100% theft-proof. Time and detection is a thief's greatest enemy. By making your car appear tougher to steal or break into will usually cause a thief to move onto a car that is easier to steal.

Here are a few tips to protect your vehicle:

• Completely close your windows after parking, as any little gap will give the thief a chance to get into your car.
• If you are leaving your car unattended for an extended period of time, you could think about removing a part of your car, like spark plugs so the car is unable to start.
• Never leave any documents in your car as a thief could use this to easily sell your vehicle or clone it.
• Never leave anything in plain view, as this will provide a reason for a thief to break into your vehicle.
• Think about leaving some ID inside your car such as Business Cards or Address Labels as this can be used to identify that the car belongs to you.
• A vehicle sitting outside is more vulnerable, so if you have a garage, use it!
• Install an Alarm System or a Vehicle Tracking System.
• Install Window Anti-Theft System Warning Decals to advertise that you have taken measures to protect the vehicle.
• Always lock your car whenever you leave it.
• Never hide a second set of keys in your car. A thief will find them even if you have the greatest hiding place.
• Use a visible steering wheel lock preventing the steering wheel from being turned.
