1) Have an anti-theft device or alarm system on the car. When a a vehicle is purchased, make sure that it has an anti-theft device or an alarm system on it. This is an easy steop for you to do at the dealership and it’s only the beginning of prevention.
2) Do not leave personal items in the car in plain site. Never elave property inside of an unattended vehicle. Items that theives will break into your automobile for are purses, shopping bags, backpacks, etc. And once a thief is in the car for these items they migth also find any important documents, or credit cards you left in the vehicle. Then the next step is that once they have broken into the car is to steal the car itself.
3) Have your windows tinted. If possible have your vehicle windows tinted. With tinted windows it should be more obvious to any bystander if a stranger going to break into your car. The thief will have to try and peer into the car to figure out how to break in and that is the normal stance of a person who owns a car. Also, having tinted windows makes it harder for a possible thief to see what belongings you have in a car.
4) Get an aftermarket anti-theft device. To have an extra portection, you can go to an auto parts store and buy an anti-theft device that you can use yourself in your automobile. Foir these types of devices you do not need professional instlalations. The most popular is the device that locks around your steering wheel, commonly known as The Club.
5) Do not leave a spare key where a thief can find it. It is very common for one to have a spare key under the car. This isn’t recommended. Too many people have used this trick so to prevent locking themselves out of their car. thieves are smart and know where to look for that extra key. So you might get locked out of your car but if you leave that spare under your car, you could end up loosing your whole vehicle.
