Always keep your doors locked. If you are a passenger in a vehicle which has central locking, make it your responsibility to ensure that the driver locks all doors. Keep valuables out of view. Handbags, money and parcels should be kept in the boot and not on the seat or where it is easily visible. It is not a good idea for your passenger to be holding valuables either on their lap or on the seat.
Passengers are also targets.
If you have to use a cellphone in the vehicle, make your conversation as short as possible so you are not distracted. Your attention must be on your environment. Alertment is your best weapon against crime. Be on your guard against distractions in any form. Statistics show that criminals use pamphlet distributors, parking attendants and beggars as opportunities.
