Winter Warning: Don’t Let Thieves Take Advantage While You Defrost

🚗❄️ 🚗❄️ Winter Warning: Don’t Let Thieves Take Advantage While You Defrost ❄️🚗

As the cold mornings set in, it’s tempting to leave your car running to defrost while you stay warm indoors. But doing so could make your vehicle an easy target for opportunistic thieves—and may even invalidate your insurance.

Here’s how to stay safe and protect your vehicle:

✅ Stay with your car at all times while it’s running
✅ Use a windscreen cover or blanket overnight to reduce frost build-up
✅ Try using a handheld scraper and de-icer spray for a quick and safe start
✅ Park in well-lit or secure areas whenever possible
✅ Avoid leaving valuables inside, especially in plain sight
✅ Lock doors between clearing windows if you need to step away briefly

Even if you're just popping back inside for a moment, that’s all it takes for a thief to strike. Let’s not give them the opportunity.
