Most Vehicle crime is preventable

Most Vehicle crime is preventable. It can take as little as 10 seconds for a thief to steal something from your car. Make sure you take extra measures to ensure your vehicles is as secure as possible. Don’t be a victim!

Here are our top 6 tips to prevent vehicle crime.

1. Never leave valuable items in your car, or on display in your car. This includes items such as sunglasses, satellite navigation units, in car stereo displays or even loose change.

2. Wipe away the satellite navigation suction mark on your windscreen. If there is a mark on the screen then there is a chance a satellite navigation unit has been left in the glove box.

3. Fitting anti-tamper screws to your number plate will help to prevent vehicle cloning. Thieves can steal your number plate and put it on a identical vehicle to commit crimes.

4. Never leave your car keys where they can be seen from the front door. Thieves will try and reach (phish) them through your letter box.

5. Park with care, particularly at night or if you are leaving the vehicle for a long time. If possible park in a busy, well-lit area.

6. Always have a spare key.
