Detailed description:
P ark somewhere safe – a garage or a well lit street.
Reduce the risk of theft – use alarms, immobilisers and locking devices.
Obvious targets such as stereos should be removed if possible.
Take valuables with you – handbags, phones, cassette tapes, CDs and even loose change are valuable to a thief.
Every time you leave your car, lock the doors and close the windows.
