Give your car The five golden rules
1. Park in well-used and brighter locations Vehicles parked in dark and less busy areas are more liable to be damaged or broken into because the suspect cannot easily be seen by anyone; itโs always advisable to park somewhere thatโs well lit and where people are walking and there is likely to be passing traffic. The busier the better, as a rule. Whatโs more, if your car stands out as being, say, more expensive than others in the area, it could be a target 2. Hide your stuff away Leaving items like iPads, mobiles As for sat navs, itโs good to hide the device and the rubber suction cup that sticks to the windscreen, but donโt forget to check if thereโs a mark on the glass that gives away the fact that you have one on board. 3. Protect your windows Consider using clear security film. It really does strengthen the glass and leave minimum damage if someone tries to smash their way into your vehicle. 4. Pick your car park carefully The Safer Parking Scheme is a national standard that benchmarks the safety and security of car parks. A โPark Markโ means the site has been assessed and vetted by the police. Check out the Park Mark website for more information and to find โmarkedโ car parks.
5. Make space If possible, when you park, try to leave some space between your car and other cars Your checklist.
When you park your vehicle, just follow these simple tips: ~ close your sunroof ~ check you havenโt left your keys in the ignition ~ donโt keep your log book in the car ~ double-check your central locking has actually locked โ listen for the clunk/click noise ~ don't leave your car with the engine running ~ don't leave anything of value in the car Report it Most people fail to report criminal damage or vandalism to their vehicle but, if it ever happens to you, we urge you to report it immediately.
