Vehicle Security

Be Alert

  • Lock your car. Take your keys.
  • Never hide a spare key on the vehicle.
  • Roll up windows completely.
  • Remove keys from the ignition.
  • Park in well-lighted areas.
  • When parking in attended lots or parking garages, leave only the ignition key with the attendant.
  • Park as close as possible to an open business.
  • Do not leave valuables in sight to tempt a thief.
  • Always park with the wheels turned toward the curb.
  • Back your car into the driveway. If you drive forward into the driveway, a car thief could raise the hood to hot wire the car, and it would appear to the neighbors that you were just working on the car.
  • If you have a garage, use it.
  • Lock your garage door.
  • Never leave your car running while it is unattended.
