How To Prevent Your Car From Thieves by AutofactorNG: 1:11pm On May 18, 2016 |
Car thieves are always coming up with more improved ways of stealing cars at the detriment of the owners, leaving them unsafe and uncomfortable when driving their cars outside their homes. Although cars often come with locks and securities, they are usually not enough to stop the thieves. Also sometimes a large amount of car thefts is due to the negligence and carelessness of the owner. However, there are a number of ways within our reach that can be used to prevent car theft and they include. • Close all windows and lock all doors and the boot (trunk), even if you only leave your car for a moment. • Never leave your vehicle running unattended. • Where possible, park in a well-lit highly visible area, preferably off the road. At night, choose secure or well-lit car parks, with pedestrian traffic. Avoid leaving your vehicle in a car park for a long time. • Try to park the vehicle with the front facing an obstacle and lock the steering. • Always try to use all protection you have on the vehicle. Put all labels for protection devices in a visible place as this will scare petty thieves away(do not display your GPS label) • Disable the vehicle using a starter interrupt switch ( "kill switch" ). Installation is not expensive. • Use VIN etching. This chemically etches the Vehicle Identification Number or registration number on the windows of your vehicle which is an effective deterrent for thieves. "Chop shops" (places where stolen cars are disassembled to be sold for parts) thrive on vehicles that have easily removable VINs or no etching at all. • If you leave the vehicle for a longer period, take off the fuses, or disconnect the power supply, after consulting your mechanic. • These precautions should be taken even if your car is in your garage. Also close all access to the garage (entry barriers) and the garage door itself. • Never leave your keys with car park employees or in car wash services. • Never mark your keys with your name and address. Mark them with your business name and suburb or driver's license number. • At your home, do not leave keys lying around on tables, desks or key hooks. • Remove registration papers from your motor vehicle, to make it difficult for the thief to sell it on the black market.

Most importantly track your car save yourself from stress. Make sure it's a credible tracking company preferably an IT company They will offer you recovery and repossession in the event of anything so you just walk away and place a call to the company. |
