When you leave the building, have you door keys in hand and be ready to make a quick entry into the car. When entering the car, look into the rear seat for possible suspects. If is safe to do so, enter the car and lock the doors. When exiting your car, look around you before turning off the ignition. Always keep your car doors and windows locked.
Thieves often enter through unlocked windows and doors.
Stay alert at red lights. When pulling up to a traffic light, be sure to leave enough room between your car and the car in front of you. This will make it possible for you to drive off should someone approach you. Minimize driving at late hours. Nationwide, most carjacking take place between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
