Nothing Valuable in Your Car
Don’t leave any valuables in your car. It does not even have to be shiny – it merely has to be accessible. If a thief can see it, they can access it, which means they might be enticed to take it from you. It can even be a bag – the person who takes it might think there’s something of value inside.
If you are out-and-about and have a pile of goodies in your backseat, you’re asking to get robbed. Do yourself a favor, and put all, and I do mean all, valuables in the trunk! Not only are they safe there, but they are also mostly out of plain sight, making them less tempting to take. This is a solid tip to avoid thieves who are also car-hoping.
