Protect Your Vehicle from Theft

🚗 Help Prevent Vehicle Theft and Theft from Vehicles

Vehicle thieves are often looking for easy opportunities. Taking a few simple precautions can significantly reduce the risk of your vehicle being targeted.

Top Tips: 

🔒 Always lock your vehicle and close all windows, even if you're only leaving it for a short time.

👜 Remove all valuables from sight, including bags, wallets, mobile phones, sat navs, and charging cables.

🔑 Keep vehicle keys secure and away from doors, windows, and letterboxes. Consider using a signal-blocking pouch for keyless vehicles.

💡 Park in well-lit, busy areas whenever possible.

🎥 Consider fitting a steering wheel lock, tracking device, or additional security measures.

📱 Ensure your vehicle's alarm and tracking systems are activated and working correctly.

🏠 If you have a garage, use it and keep garage doors locked.

📄 Never leave vehicle documents or spare keys inside your vehicle.

Remember: Most thefts from vehicles occur when valuables are left on display or vehicles are left insecure.

If you witness suspicious activity around vehicles, report it via 101 or online. In an emergency or if a crime is in progress, call 999.
