It is very easy to fall victim to car theft, but it is preventable. Nearly half of vehicle theft is due to the driver’s error, such as leaving your keys in the vehicle or not locking your vehicle. To prevent these crimes from happening, remember to:
- ALWAYS take your vehicle's key; DO NOT leave it in or on your vehicle.
- Close and lock all windows and doors when you park.
- Park in well-lit areas if possible.
- Never leave valuables in your vehicle, especially if they can be seen from outside the vehicle.
