After all, your property can be replaced. Always be aware of your surroundings. Leave several car lengths between your car and the car in front of you. Drive in the center lane when possible, not at the curb. When shopping, park as close as possible to the entrance in a well-lighted area.
Most thieves select a victim who acts timid, frightened or unsure.
Keep your car keys separate from your other keys and have them ready for a quick entry. Keep your car doors locked at all times. Keep the windows up. If you are approached while you are in your car, lean on the horn to create a commotion until the danger passes. If you get bumped from behind do not get out of you car.
