Lock it and pocket the keyThe majority of stolen cars are left unlocked, often with the
keys in the ignition. Whether you leave your car for a moment or
for several hours, always lock it and take the keys with you. NEVER
leave your vehicle with the engine running. This is an open
invitation to the "joyrider". Be Careful with your keysKeep car keys and house keys on separate rings. Never have an
identification tag on your key ring--thieves may use it to locate
your car. Never hide an extra car key under the hood. Secure Valuables and ParcelsNever leave unattended in your car, cheque books, credit cards,
or other such articles. Lock valuables in the trunk. Park in Well-Lit and Busy AreasThis is important for both your personal safety and the
protection of your car and its contents. Secure Your RegistrationDo not keep your vehicle registration inside your car. Carry it
with you. IdentificationCriminals have also found it profitable to steal equipment and
accessories. Engraving tools are available to mark equipment and
accessories such as batteries, stereos and hub caps.
