Car thieves are cowards, and as such, car thieves will always look for the easy target.
By applying some simple common sense, which virtually costs you nothing, you can significantly reduce your chances of becoming a victim of car theft.
Start by removing your car keys from the ignition and locking your doors if you are going to be away from your vehicle regardless of how short or how long you plan to be away.
A car thief only needs two seconds to steal your car when you leave your doors unlocked and your keys in the ignition.
Closing your windows completely may also help to discourage a car thief from easily popping the door lock and popping your trunk and then stealing any valuables inside of your car.
Remember, car thieves are cowards, and as cowards, car thieves prefer to work in dark and less populated areas, so, parking in well lit areas when you are out and about may also discourage a car thief from disturbing your car.
These simple common sense ant-theft-actions may help to deter a car thief from breaking into your vehicle and stealing your personal property or stealing your vehicle altogether.
