To better protect yourself and your vehicle, understand and practice common sense safety tips. While walking to your vehicle, be aware of your surroundings as criminals prey on persons who appear distracted. Be attentive to your body language, walk confidently, with your head up. Don't act lost. Get specific directions, don't be too obvious about using maps.
Carjacking is a crime of opportunity.
It is not based upon the value of the vehicle. If you are carjacked, avoid provoking the thief - especially if he is armed. Your life is more valuable than your car. Purchase an anti-theft device and use it. Keep your car in good condition to minimize the chance of breakdowns.
