Having your car stolen can have a major impact on your life. Click here to understand the consequences of auto theft.

You can prevent auto theft.

Never warm up your car unattended!
The exhaust that puffs out of your tailpipe is a sign thieves look for during the winter, making you an easy target.
Lock your doors!
It’s the number one thing that will prevent auto theft. If the doors are locked, it’s harder for a thief to break in and steal your car.
Think twice about where you park your car.
Park in well-lit areas at night. Park near the entrance to a mall, building, office or wherever you are.
Invest in an anti-theft device.
Steering wheel locks, steering column collars, theft-deterrent decals and audible alarm systems.

Never leave your wallet in your car.
Don’t even leave it in your glove compartment when you go to the gym. If a thief steals your car, and has your wallet, it’s easier for him to break into your home or even steal your identity.
Think twice about leaving your garage door opener in your car.
This item, paired with your address, which can be found on many items (mail, registration, etc.), is a dangerous combination. It gives the thief your address and an easy way into your home.
Take personal items out of view.
Remove anything valuable from plain sight – laptop, phone, keys, handbag, mp3 player. These items make your car an attractive target for auto thieves.
Don’t leave personal information in your car.
You car’s registration has your address on it. Any mail you might have lying around – utility or credit card bills – has your address and possibly social security number or personal account information. Leaving this information in your car gives a thief your address and leaves you vulnerable to home burglary and identity theft.
