Vehicle Break-Ins Prevention Tips!!
1) Keep all electronics stored out of plain view. If you can't take the items with you, secure them in a safe place in your vehicle, like a locked glove compartment or your trunk. Conceal them PRIOR to arriving at your destination.
2) Hide power plugs, iPod adapters, or navigation system windshield mounts, as this can tell a thief what valuables are in your vehicle. Make sure to wipe the windshield so that the suction marks left from the GPS system are not visible.
3) Do not leave items that may seem of value to others even if not to you such as backpacks, computer bags (even if there is no computer inside), gym bags, briefcases.
4) Never leave spare keys in your vehicle: An experienced thief knows all the hiding places.
5) Keep your car tidy. Criminals also seek mail, which can contain financial and personal information and lead to identity theft.
6) Park your car in well lit areas where visibility is high, whenever possible.
7) Get a vehicle alarm system if you don’t already have one.
8) Avoid leaving packages or shopping bags out in the open: Lock them into your trunk before you reach your destination
9) Lock ALL of your vehicle's doors: even if you plan on only being gone for "just a second". Also, make sure car windows aren't left open.
