Now that Summer has begun, you’ll probably go to a BBQ or some other outdoor activity to
enjoy the sunshine and ring in the sizzling months to come. It’s time
to kick back, let your hair down, and have some fun–just make sure your
car doesn’t leave the party without you. Leaving a note on your car probably won't help prevent theft, but these tips will!
- If you are going to drink, don’t drive. We’re not talking about
avoiding a DUI—that should be a given. Many people this weekend will
head out to a BBQ with the plan to leave their car overnight and cab it
home. Don’t do it!
- Don’t assume that the shrubby corner of the neighborhood is the safe
place to park your car. We know it’s hot, but don’t sacrifice safety
for shade! Always park in a well-lit area; ideally one that’s easily
visible from a distance.
- Double check that your doors are locked and never keep your
spare key in or near your car. In that same line of thought, don’t
store anything of value in it. That includes your trunk! Car insurance
won’t cover these items if they are stolen.
- Think about installing a GPS system. If the worst ends up happening
and your vehicle is stolen, you can track it down before it’s too late.
