Keeping Your Car Break-In- And Thief-Free


Keeping Your Car Break-In- And Thief-Free

Chuck Smith
May 30, 2006

A car that looks like it is easy to rob is like a pool of water in the middle of the desert for robbers and thieves. That is why automobile experts suggest that if you would like to keep your car thief-free, it is best that you make sure that you let your car have this aura that says, “Back off.”

First off, you should park your car in an area that is well-lit. Also, it would be best if you also find an area that is near lots of people. The more the visibility, the lesser the chances of robbers hitting your car. They surely would not want to be caught in the act.

Anywhere you park your car, make sure that your windows are all rolled up. Also, your car should be locked. Keep in mind that after you get out and just right before you walk away from your car, double-check everything first. It is better to be safe than sorry later.

Now, if you have valuables inside your car, make sure that they remain hidden. If you have this really valuable stereo installed, try considering a removable stereo face. That way, if you leave your car anywhere, you can simply put the stereo face on so that it would look like it has never been there. Good way to trick the thoughts of those would-be robbers.

There are devices in the market that help out toughen the whole robbing game for thieves. One of these is the visible mechanical locking device. This would actually lock your car’s steering wheel. Another is the auto theft alarm system that would make a huge racket so as to bring the attention of any person nearby towards your car. You can also try having locking lug nuts. These lug nuts work by preventing your custom wheels or spare tires from being stolen.

Performance, versatility, and reliability sum up every car that Ford has manufactured.
