To enhance the security of your car and deter theft, take the following precautions:
- Engage the steering lock.
- Remove the keys and lock your car, even for brief absences.
- Conceal or remove valuables from sight.
- Refrain from leaving the vehicle registration document inside the car to prevent potential ownership claims by thieves.
- Park in well-lit areas or secure car parks, especially at night.
To further thwart opportunistic thieves:
- Install an anti-theft alarm or immobilizer.
- Utilize visible security devices such as steering-wheel or handbrake locks.
- Have the vehicle registration number etched onto the windows for identification purposes.
To safeguard radios and other in-car entertainment systems from theft. Install a security-coded radio, rendering it useless if stolen. Consider joining a vehicle watch scheme if available in your area.
