Your Car At Night

Your car is most vulnerable at night, so it's important to ensure you take extra precautions to limit the risk of theft or damage. Try to park in a secure location and ensure the vehicle is fully locked, if possible making use of security devices such as alarms and immobilisers.

The most commonly reported theft from vehicles are stereos, followed by personal items such as handbags, briefcases and mobile phones so always try to remove these at night. It is also worth remembering not to place car keys in an accessible place within the home; for example hall tables or open windows, as there is an increasing incidence of keys being stolen from within the home to steal cars from driveways.

Remember the following:

Always park in a garage if available
If you don't have a garage, park in a well-lit spot
Ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked
Utilise a steering wheel lock, car alarm or immobiliser
Remove stereos and valuables or store out of sight in a locked glove compartment or boot
Do not leave keys visible on hall tables or other accessible areas inside the home
