A car is one of the most significant purchases you can make, and protecting that investment is important. A dark parking area or an unobserved side street is a potential threat to the security of your car, and in most cases stolen vehicles aren’t recovered. Here are a couple of precautions from Cardinale Nissan, so you can take to keep your car safe:
- It may sound simple, but making sure your car is locked and the windows are rolled up is the best way to prevent theft. It’s very easy and takes almost no time to take a quick look.
- Many thieves are smart and know where spare keys are hidden, so be wary of keeping an extra lying around your car.
- Unattended or running cars are easy targets for most thieves. Try to avoid leaving your vehicle running by itself, even if just for a few minutes.
- Parking lot selection is very important. Choose a well-lit or officially monitored lot or garage to park in. Also try to avoid leaving any valuables in plain sight. It only makes your car a more lucrative target.
- There are many cheap and effective GPS systems you can install on your car. This way, police will be able to track it, and you can often link it to your personal smartphone. Narrowing down areas to look is critical to recovering your vehicle.
- In the event a thief bypasses your ignition system by hot-wiring the car, a vehicle immobilizer is the best defense. These devices can bring the car to a halt by cutting off the car’s access to fuel.
