Mildura Police have taken to social media, again, to remind people that the best way to protect your car is to lock the doors, remove the keys and keep them out of sight.
But they say it’s the extra steps that provide a little peace of mind.
They say that some ways you can make it harder for an opportunistic thief the next time you pull up to your destination include:
Don’t leave your keys in the car – always keep them with you.
Never leave your car running unattended, even if it’s just for a moment.
Park near a well-lit building or streetlight.
Always lock your garage door, and if you have a gate across your driveway keep it closed
Invest in an anti-theft device that is best suited for your car.
Install motion sensor lights and cameras in your garage or carport.
