🔴 CRIME ALERT 🔴 - THEFT FROM VEHICLE
To keep items safe in your car, always lock doors, roll up windows, and store belongings out of sight, ideally in a locked trunk. Stow items before arriving at your destination to avoid being watched, and never leave electronics, keys, or bags in plain view. Park in high-traffic, well-lit areas to deter thieves.
🔐Key Safety Measures
☑️-Use the Trunk: The trunk is the most secure spot. If you have a hatchback, use the cargo cover.
☑️- "Pre-load" the Trunk: Store items in the trunk before arriving at your destination, not in public, which alerts thieves to what you are hiding.
☑️- Remove All Traces: Don't leave charging cables, suction cups from GPS devices, or empty bags visible, as these suggest hidden valuables.
☑️- Hide Valuables Early: If you must leave items, cover them with blankets or, in a pinch, dirty laundry or trash to make the car look unattractive to thieves, suggests
☑️-Valet/Hidden Compartments: Utilize the valet switch to lock the trunk if you leave your keys, and use hidden consoles.
☑️-Avoid Risky Areas: Park in monitored, well-lit, or busy areas.
☑️-Don't Leave Keys/Key Fob: Do not leave spare keys, house keys, or garage door openers in the car.
