Tips to prevent Theft - Sgt. cam jones
Theft from Auto
Most vehicle crime is opportunistic and therefore preventable. By following some straightforward advice, and working together, we can ensure that this type of crime is reduced in your community. Some of the advice may sound obvious and rather simple but it could make all the difference if you follow it consistently. The cost and the time you must spend on repairs, replacement of stolen items can be easily prevented by following some simple tips
Tips to prevent thefts from your vehicle:
Remove all Valuables - Never leave ANYTHING on display when you leave your vehicle. Even loose change, cigarettes, cigarette lighters, sunglasses, CD’s, cell phones, stereos, cameras, and clothing, if they can see it they will steal it.
Park Safely - When parking at home, always use your garage if you have one, and lock both your vehicle and your garage. If you don't have a garage, try to park in a well-lit, open place. When parking at work or your local mall, park in a well-lit open place.
Remove Portable Accessories - Removing stereo face plates and locking them in the trunk or taking them with you, will deter thieves.
Get an Alarm Installed - Alarms can deter thieves not only from stealing items from your vehicle, but also from stealing your vehicle. Even if you have an alarm installed NEVER, NEVER, NEVER leave anything in your vehicle. Thieves can smash a window, reach in grab an item and be gone in seconds, before your alarm is even activated. Caution is needed that you do not set your alarm to sensitive. Storms, wind, large trucks passing by your vehicle can set it off.
Use a Steering Locking Device (The Club) · Use a steering wheel lock every time you leave your vehicle. A vehicle that is well secured has a tendency to deter criminals. A steering wheel lock will also deter theft of your vehicle.
Theft of Auto
Most car security is inadequate. Thieves are able to break into and drive away with most makes and models of vehicles in less than a minute. Research shows that particular kinds of thieves favour certain models because they have found ways to easily steal them. Many of these stolen vehicles will be used in other crimes and are often involved in police pursuits. These pursuits can become a safety risk to the public and the police officers involved.
Popular stolen vehicles at this time in Edmonton are DODGE CARAVANS and PLYMOUTH VOYAGERS. Ford Escorts, Saturns and Hondas are running second. Larger Ford Trucks (F250/F350) are third.
Your vehicles or vehicle will more than likely be your second largest investment you make in your life. If your vehicle is stolen, the inconvenience and the insurance cost to you outweighs the prevention cost. Most vehicle crime is opportunistic and therefore preventable. By following some straightforward advice, and working together, we can ensure that this type of crime is reduced in your community.
Tips to prevent Vehicle Theft:
Do not leave your vehicle running - Under no circumstances should you leave your vehicle unattended while running with the key in the ignition. NOTE: Automatic car starters are not a problem; they are designed to shut off if attempts are made to steal the vehicle.
No Spare Keys - Do not leave a spare key hidden in the vehicle. Thieves look for spare keys, and once they break into your vehicle they know all the hiding spots. You can get a spare key holder for your wallet or purse.
Lock Up Your Vehicle - Always check that the doors, windows, and sun roofs are shut and locked when you park your vehicle. As well, leave your vehicle in a locked garage where possible. If the crime rate is high in your area also lock your vehicle even when it is in the locked garage.
Be aware of where you park - When parking your vehicle at work, visiting, going to appointments etc., park in parking lots that will have more than one of the following:
Use a Steering Wheel Locking Device (e.g. The Club) - A well-secured car will deter thieves. There are other devices available to consumers to stop thieves from easily stealing your vehicle. See your local automotive stores for details.
Do not leave items in your vehicle - Thieves can be attracted to your car because numerous items are left in plain sight. Never leave anything in your vehicle. That means loose change, cell phones, CDs, cameras, clothing, sunglasses, cigarettes, cigarette lighters, and any other items.
Install an Alarm - Alarms can deter thieves not only from stealing your vehicle, but also from stealing items from your vehicle. Caution is needed that you do not set your alarm to sensitive. Storms, wind, or large trucks passing by your vehicle can set it off. Too many false alarms and people will ignore it or get upset that it is always going off.
Cost - The only item listed above that could be considered expensive is an alarm system. Even if you follow all the other above listed suggestions, you have greatly decreased and almost eliminated the chance your vehicle will be stolen at a minimal cost to you.
