Don’t invite crime – lock your car every time!
Theft of property from motor vehicles is a preventable crime.
When our vehicles are parked, they represent a ‘display case’ to an opportunistic offender looking for an easy profit.
This form of ‘window shopping’ is being assisted by vehicle owners leaving valuable items on show inside the vehicle including laptops, mobile phones, wallets, handbags and money.
Even leaving a sports bag on display invites attention from a thief.
While you know your bag contains only a gym towel and a pair of old shoes, the thief doesn’t and will happily damage your vehicle to gain entry to discover exactly what’s inside.
