PREVENTION

The best solution against theft,

It's prevention !

Lock your vehicle

This may seem obvious, but many people don't lock their vehicles. It's crucial to always lock your car, even if you're only leaving it for a short period of time.

It's important to remember that most car thefts occur in store parking lots, where thieves can find easy targets.

Therefore, even if you think you are in a safe place, it is still important to take steps to protect your car from theft.

Park in a safe and secure location

It is important to choose a safe and secure place to park your car to minimize the risk of theft or vandalism.

For this, it is recommended to find a well-lit and visible location, where there is traffic. Avoid parking in dark or isolated areas, as this increases the risks to your vehicle.

Installing outdoor security cameras can also deter thieves.

Use an anti-theft device

In addition to preventive measures to park your car safely, it is recommended to invest in additional safety equipment.

Here is a list of security equipment that can prevent your vehicle from being stolen: a steering wheel lock bar, an OBD port lock, a brake pedal bar, a wheel immobilizer system and GPS tracking systems.

These devices are designed to deter thieves and protect your vehicle from theft.

Use tinted windows

Using window tinting on your car can also be an added security measure to protect your vehicle from theft.

Tinted windows reduce visibility inside your car, making it harder for thieves to see if there are valuables inside.

Keep your valuables out of sight

It's important to keep in mind that the security of your vehicle isn't just about its physical protection, but also about what you leave inside it.

In fact, leaving valuables inside your vehicle can attract thieves and increase the risk of theft.

Keep your keys safe

Do not leave your keys in the ignition and avoid leaving spare keys in easily accessible places, such as under the car carpet or in the wheel well.

It is recommended to store your keys securely, away from front doors or in a "Faraday box" or "signal blocking box", especially if they are electronic. This prevents thieves from making duplicate keys.

Be vigilant

It is important to be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police, especially if groups of people are loitering near your parking lot at odd hours.

By reporting any suspicious activity, you can help prevent theft and help police maintain security in the area.

Markings

By engraving unique identification numbers or marks on auto parts, you can deter car thieves.

These specific markings make the parts more difficult to sell on the black market, as they can be easily identified as belonging to a stolen vehicle.

Additionally, by marking your auto parts, you help the police recover stolen vehicles.

Install an alarm

Installing an audible alarm system is another recommended security measure to protect your vehicle against theft.

An alarm system that emits a loud, distinctive sound can discourage thieves from attempting to steal your car, as they risk being detected and attracting unwanted attention.

In addition to an audible alarm system, there are also alarm systems that can send an alert to your phone or a monitoring center if an attempted theft is detected.

Install a GPS tracking device

Installing a GPS tracking device in your car is another security measure you can take to protect your vehicle from theft.

If your car is stolen, the GPS tracking device can help the police find it quickly.

Additionally, some insurance companies offer additional discounts on auto insurance premiums for cars equipped with GPS tracking devices.
