Whilst insurance will compensate financially for the loss of a stolen car, there is little that can help with the inconvenience and shock. Following these guidelines will help minimise the risk of having your car stolen or broken into.
Parking your Car
Thieves like working in shadows, so always park in an open, brightly lit area. In a ticket-exit car park, make sure you take the ticket with you; don't ever leave it in the car.
Hide your Property
Never leave valuable property in your car; if you must, then make sure you leave it in a locked boot. If you have a hatchback car, the rear shelf should be in position. Remove anything that might look tempting from view, even if it isn't valuable - thieves may be tempted to break in just in case it is.
