There is hardly a single car enthusiast who would like to become a victim of car thieves, but in the world, as statistics say, they steal a car every 10 seconds. To prevent your car from being stolen, it is important to know a few basic rules that will help protect your car.
Instructions
Step 1
In order not to detect the loss of a car one day, you need to adhere to some basic rules:
Buy an anti-theft system with good protection, and it is better if there are two of them. If a thief sees one such system, he will understand that even if he decides to steal this car, he will have to tinker with this car for a long time. Hide the second system or make it invisible to the eyes. The thief will not notice her and will be caught red-handed.
Step 2
Every time you get out of the car, be sure to take your keys with you, and when you close the car, be sure to check the windows, trunk, hood, doors: they must be closed, and then turn on the alarm.
Step 3
Do not leave any valuables in the car, because they often provoke robbers to commit robbery.
Step 4
If you do not want the wheels to be removed from your car, put at least one bolt with an unusual head on the wheels. This will make the car thief's job much more difficult and your wheels will probably remain intact.
Step 5
If you will not use your car for some time, then put it in the parking lot, and before that, prepare it. It is advisable to drain the gasoline, remove the battery and cover the car with a cover.
Step 6
A very important factor is where you leave your car. Do not leave it near theaters, cinemas, shopping malls, gyms, concert halls, or any public place. In this case, the hijackers will know almost the exact time of your absence, and will act in accordance with this time frame. So it's better to find some distant place and walk the extra 100 meters for the safety of your own car. If you leave the car in your yard, then choose the most crowded and bright places so that thieves have the least chance of being stolen.
Step 7
You need to think about what to do if you are attacked. If the thief is armed, do not try to protect the car, but save yourself, otherwise you will not save the car and you yourself will suffer.
Step 8
There are remote controls with which you can stop the car if it has driven no more than 70 meters away. There is also an alternative to key chains - a card, without which the car simply will not leave. Keep such cards with you at all times.
Step 9
Finally, insure your car against theft and other possible troubles (burglary, accident, etc.). Of course, in the event of theft, the insurance company will not return the car to you, but the amount of money corresponding to its value will be paid to you.
