Even the latest vehicles that have the most sophisticated anti-theft devices are not safe, comments Daniel Brogdon, assistant group manager for the special investigation unit of the Interinsurance Exchange of the Auto Club. Those driving expensive and technologically advanced autos are in fact faced with higher risk of becoming theft victim.
To help avoid theft, Auto Club is giving these tips to auto users:
- Never leave your keys inside the vehicle, or leave your vehicle unlocked, even "just for a minute."
- Never leave valuable items visible inside the car, such as electronic devices, a purse, or luggage.
- Invest in an alarm system, ignition shutoff device and/or a theft tracking device.
- When possible, park your vehicle in a secure garage, or in well-lit areas with heavy pedestrian traffic.
- Never leave a spare ignition key hidden on the vehicle.
- To report thefts or theft-related activity, call 1-800-TELL CHP.
For security devices, you may start browsing the net to know what brand is best for your car. Look for trusted brands to ensure your vehicle’s security. Remember that your car is an expensive investment and that it gives you great amount of comfort and convenience everyday.
