Prevention Tips To Prevent Car Break-Ins

Car break-ins can occur anywhere. This includes places where there is a large concentration of vehicles which includes shopping facilities, churches, sporting/recreation events, and restaurants down to a single-vehicle parked on a residential street.

Here are some tips which will hopefully keep you from being a
victim!

  • The best advice: do not leave anything of value in your vehicle in
    plain sight. Remember, “if it’s in sight, it can take flight.”
  • Always lock your doors, even if you plan to be away from your
    vehicle for a short time. Example: running in to pay for gas.
  • Park in well-lit areas.
  • When shopping, always be sure to place purchases in the trunk or out of sight before going to the next shopping area to park.
  • Try to maintain a “clutter-free” vehicle.
  • Remove GPS systems from view when leaving the vehicle.
  • Consider replacing standard license plate screws with theft
    deterrent screws available at auto parts stores.

 

Don’t be a victim. Help us help you. Eliminate opportunity and eliminate crime!
