HELP STOP VEHICLE CRIME

Having your car stolen or broken into can be very distressing. Here are a few simple steps you can take to keep your vehicle safe:

- Always lock it

- Close windows and the sun roof to prevent 'fishing'

- Fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts to secure alloy wheels

- Secure your number plates with tamper resistant screws

- Don't leave any valuables on display

When in public:

- Park in well-lit and busy areas

- Choose your car park wisely

- Secure anything fitted on the outside of your vehicle

Tool thefts from vans:

- Ideally, don't leave your tools inside overnight

- If you keep them in the van, make sure you mark them with your name or your companies name using paint pens and seal with lacquer spray

- Consider locking cabinets in your van to secure your tools

To help prevent keyless car theft:

- Use a physical barrier such as a steering lock, wheel clamp or parking post

- Fit a tracking device

- Keep your keys in a faraday bag

- Remove any batteries from spare keys
