.

The idea of leaving the spare key in the glove box is an easy call to car thieves to act. Just like you,thesethieves know where to search for the spare keys

CLOSE THE WINDOWS

Always check that your windows are closed to avoid becoming a victim of car theft.

An open window gives a car thief a window of opportunity to steal  your car. 

    DON'T PARK YOUR CAR IN DARK SPOTS

Park your car in well-lit areas and the more human and vehicular traffic the area has, the better for the safety of your car. The more visible your car is, the better (for you). Isolated places are not ideal for parking cars as car thieves are much less likely to be caught in the act compared to stealing a car that is parked in broad daylight on the street.

MANUALLY  LOCK  YOUR CAR DOOR-BY HITTING THE MANUAL LOCK INSIDE THE CAR

When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting, it does not send the security code, but if you walk away and use the door lock on your key chain, it sends the code through the airwaves where it can be instantly stolen.

DON'T LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR.

Nothing calls the attention of car thieves to your car like leaving valuables, Put valuables away from sight. Also, use your trunk for storing valuables. When you do this, ensure it’s not on arrival at the parking lot in oder not to be monitored by car thieves.

Install an Audible Alarm System and Anti-Theft Device

An audible alarm system is set to give out a loud noise if someone tries to gain unauthorised access to your car. The unwanted noise throws the thief off balance with the potential attention it creates. On the other hand, visible anti-theft devices such as steering wheel lock, brake/clutch pedal lock will be a huge turn off for car thieves.

Install a Tracking System

This tip is not exactly for prevention. It’s for recovery. This is essential for all vehicles as it also helps to botch the plans of car thieves. Many cars have been recovered through the use of the car tracking system, which tells you the location of your car.

Always Be Cautious.
