Car Security Tips
|
Quite
allot of modern cars come with alarms or immobilisers
fitted as standard, even with these fitted
adding a stop lock to the steering wheel will
add even more problems to the would be car
thief.
If you car does have a good alarm system fitted
always keep the stickers that they put on
your window in place so the car thief can
see that its the real thing rather than just
a flashing light.
Always try to park your car in a well lit
area and if possible somewhere near where
people walk or drive by, also never leave
anything in the car e.g. bags and coats. You
may know that the bag contains nothing of
worth but the thief who smashes your window
to steal it doesn't know that, and new car
windows are not cheap. The best thing to do
is put the bags and coats in the boot before
you park up, then if someone is watching a
car park, they never see you hiding the coat
or bag.
Keys: As technology progresses car security
is getting better featuring keys with electronic
chips in them (so the car wont start without
the car key). If your car does have chipped
keys you need to make sure that the keys are
safe at all times. Car thieves have been known
to hook keys out of the key hole of peoples
front doors through letter boxes, and also
kick in front doors and pick the car keys
off the table and disappear with cars. The
best thing to do is to take the keys upstairs
to bed with you, so you know where they are
at all times.
