Safeguard Your Car From Theft
When people think about car thefts, they think of burglars lurking in the middle of the night planning to steal a high-end, luxury, and valuable vehicle. In reality, this isn’t the case at all. Car thieves often steal in the daylight and, more often than not, target older vehicles. Recently, a list of the most frequently stolen vehicles was released.
In 2017, the most stolen vehicle in the nation were:
- 1998 Honda Civic
- 1997 Honda Accord
- 2006 Ford Pickup
- 2004 Chevrolet Pickup
- 2017 Toyota Camry
- 2016 Nissan Altima
- 2001 Dodge Pickup
To help prevent thieves from stealing your vehicle this holiday season, take a look at these tips:
- Never leave valuable items in your car that are in plain sight. If you need to leave presents in the vehicle, cover them or store them in the trunk.
- Lock all windows and doors, making sure all the windows are rolled up.
- Park in a well-lit area, especially when you’re shopping in the evening.
- Park your vehicle facing your garage to make it harder for thieves to have a quick getaway.
- Pay attention to your surroundings – always be on guard because criminals rely on the element of surprise.
