Protecting your Vehicle


Have you ever heard a vehicle alarm in a parking lot? Did you run over to see what was going on? Probably not. Like most people, you probably continued on your way saying to yourself, someone needs to turn that off. Although the sound may scare off a freshman criminal, veteran thieves know that they don’t really draw much attention and it only takes them a few seconds to steal the items they are searching for. How can you protect your vehicle then?


Choosing a secure parking location is the first step. Parking on the side of the road is pretty much asking for someone to break-in to your vehicle. Although parking in a highly trafficked and visible space is better than a dark alley with no onlookers. Many garages offer attended parking but even this does little to deter a quick thief.


Making your vehicle a less desirable target can be one of the best strategies. Leaving the GPS suction cupped to the windshield is an advertisement for criminals to break your window. The same applies to cash, jewelry, or other valuables lying out in plain sight. It is easy to put these items in a glove compartment or even under a shirt or in a bag. This takes about 10 seconds to accomplish but people get lazy and end up losing such valuables every day.
