Tips on what you
can do to prevent
the theft of your car:

1. Take Your Keys
One out of every five vehicles stolen had
keys in it.

2. Lock Your Car
Almost half of all vehicles stolen were left unlocked.

3. Don't Hide a Second Set of Keys in Your Car
Extra keys can easily be found if a thief takes time to look.
