Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention
Vehicle
burglaries and thefts are largely avoidable. Here are some tips on how to
avoid car break-ins and thefts.
1. Lock the doors
2. Close windows and sunroofs
3. Don’t leave valuables such as laptops, cell phones,
wallets, purses or GPS devices in plain view
4. Put away the garage door opener and any items with
personal information
5. Move valuables to the trunk before reaching your
destination
6. Don’t leave any keys in the vehicle, including a valet
key or a spare key for another vehicle that parks near yours in your garage,
driveway, etc.
7. Park in a well-lighted place whenever possible
8. Use the emergency brake when parking to make it more
difficult for a thief to tow your vehicle away.
Key fobs present a serious weakness in your car's security.
An amplifier can detects key fob signals from up to 300 feet away and transmit
them to your car so while your keys could be in your house, criminals could
still unlock it. To prevent hackers from stealing your key fob signal you can
wrap them in foil, place them in a foil-lined box or radio frequency signal
blocking bag. You can also put them in your microwave oven – just don’t turn it
on.
