Most car criminals are opportunists. By following the tips below you can outsmart car thieves and limit their opportunity to steal your valuables or vehicle.
• Install an alarm to deter thieves from not only stealing your car, but also from taking items from it.
• Arrange to have a vehicle tracking system fitted.
• Use locking wheel nuts. They are cheap and easy to fit and stop thieves from taking your wheels.
