“Even when parked on your driveway or stepping away for a minute, make sure your vehicle is fully locked, and windows are closed.
“Where possible, park in a well lit area or on a driveway close to your home. If you have a garage, use it.
“Steering wheel locks, immobilisers, and tracking devices can be a strong deterrent. If you have CCTV or a video doorbell, ensure it’s working and facing your driveway or street.
