Having your car stolen is one of the worst feelings in the world. Not only are you left worrying about the loss of a valuable piece of property; you’re also left without transportation to school, work, or your child’s daycare. There are proactive things you can do to protect your car from theft. Butler Chrysler dealers have long advised their customers to take precautions with their new vehicles, and they offer these anti-theft tips for car owners:
- Remember to lock your doors. Believe it or not, many thefts occur simply because car owners did not lock their vehicles. Keyless systems can make locking and unlocking your vehicle much easier.
- Park in a well-lighted area. Public visibility deters crime. When you park, be sure to park in an area that has a decent amount of traffic and lighting. This will make your vehicle a less attractive target for thieves.
- Roll your windows up. Open windows make it easier for car thieves to gain entry into your vehicle. Keep your defenses up by keeping your windows up.
- Install security devices. There are a variety of anti-theft devices that come standard or can be installed after market. Car alarms and stickers indicating their presence can be a great deterrent to car thieves. Immobilizers can render a stolen car inoperable. GPS tracking systems can help law enforcement track down a stolen car.
