🚗 Top Tips to Prevent Car Crime

Protect your vehicle and deter criminals with these smart, practical steps:

🔒 Lock It Every Time

Even if you're stepping away for a moment — lock your car and close all windows. Make it a habit.

🏠 Use Your Garage

If you have one, park inside and lock it. Got gates? Lock those too. Consider adding an alarm for extra security.

🔑 Hide Your Keys

Keep keys and fobs out of sight and away from doors and windows. Don’t make it easy for thieves.

📡 Block Relay Theft

Smart keys can be cloned via signal theft. Store them in a Faraday pouch and keep your vehicle software up to date.

💼 Remove Temptation

Don’t leave valuables on show — phones, bags, tools, sunglasses. Lock them in the boot or take them with you.

🅿️ Park Smart

Choose well-lit, busy areas. Always double-check your car is locked — listen for the click, watch for lights or mirrors folding.

🔧 Secure Your Plates

Use one-way security screws to stop thieves from stealing your number plates and using them on other vehicles.

🔐 Add Physical Locks

Steering wheel locks, gear lever locks, or pedal boxes add visible deterrents and delay thieves.

📍 Track Your Vehicle

Install a tracker to monitor movement. Some systems can even remotely disable the engine if stolen
