Unfortunately, around the holidays shoppers are more prone to having their vehicles broken into as thieves loot through parking lots looking for gifts and other purchases left inside cars. Here are a few tips to prevent a vehicle break-in this time of year:
- If you’re stopping at various stores to go shopping, do not leave packages unattended in the car between trips. If they are small enough, take them with you.
- If you have to leave packages or other items in your vehicle unattended make sure to get them out of plain sight. Lock them in the trunk or store them under the front seat so they aren’t visible from the outside of the car.
- When you get home, make sure you take everything you purchased out of your car and into the house. Vehicle theft can happen anywhere…even in your own driveway.
- When parking in a parking lot at night, try to park in a well lit area as close to the entrance of the building you are heading into as possible. Likew
