Ways to Avoid Car Break-Ins

Here are some ways you can follow to save your car from damage and your valuables from being stolen. 

  1. Never leave valuables in the car, not even for a minute 

It hardly takes any time for a thief to smash the glass of your car’s window and steal your valuables, especially, when the car is parked in a less populated area. Hence, never leave any valuable items in your car, not even for a minute. 

  1. Never leave a bag in sight 

Any bag left on the seat of a car is tempting enough for a thief to break in. Thus, if the bag is too heavy to carry along or doesn’t hold any valuable items, just shove it under the seat. 

  1. Even trunks are at a risk

Never put any purses or bags with money and valuables in your car trunk after reaching the destination. This is a legit invite for the thieves to break open the trunk. If you want to lock your valuables in the trunk, do it before leaving your house. 

  1. Headphone wires and jacks are an invite 

Leaving aux cables and other wires hanging in the car is also an open invitation for the thieves to break in. Though you haven’t left any devices in the car, it will cost you the damage of breaking in.
