Theft
Vehicle theft is big
business,
especially
in some
cities.
Although
your
vehicle
has
a
number of theft-deterrent
features, we
know
that
nothing
we
put
on
it can
make
it
impossible
to
steal.
However,
there
are
ways
you
can
help.
Key
in
the
Ignition
If you
leave
your
vehicle
with
the
keys
inside,
it’s
an
easy
target
for
joy riders
or
professional
thieves
--
so
don’t
do
it.
When
you
park
your
vehicle
and
open
the driver’s
door,
you’ll
hear a chime reminding
you
to
remove
your
key
from
the
ignition
and
take it
with
you.
Always
do
this.
Your steering
wheel
will
be
locked,
and
so
will
your
ignition.
If
you have
an
automatic
transmission,
taking
your
key
out
also
locks
your transmission. And
remember
to
lock the doors.
Parking
at
Night
Park in
a
lighted
spot,
close
all
windows
and
lock
your
vehicle.
Remember
to keep
your
valuables
out
of sight.
Put
them in a
storage
area,
or take
them
with
you.
Parking
Lots
If you
park
in
a
lot
where
someone
will
be
watching
your
vehicle,
it’s best
to
lock it up
and
take
your
keys.
But what
if
you
have
to
leave your
ignition
key?

If possible,
park
in
a
busy,
well
lit area.
Put
your
valuables
in
a
storage
area,
like
your
hatch
or glove box.
Be
sure to
close
and
lock
the
storage
area.
Close
all
windows.
Lock
the glove box.
Lock
all
the
doors except the
driver’s.
Then
take
the door
key and remote
keyless
entry
transmitter
with
you.
