Protect car
from thieves

ARE YOU doing everything you
can to protect your car from
thieves?

This year thousands of Cana-
dians will find their cars missing.

The single most effective way to
discourage car thieves is to lock
your car and take the key. About a
third of ali car thefts occur while
the car is parked at home — so
close the windows and lock it up.

Don’t tempt the thief to break
into the car by leaving inviting
items in plain sight. If you must
leave cameras, purses, or other
property in the car, put it in the
trunk,

Park in a safe place. If a locked
garage is available, use it. If not,
choose a well-lit area.

If your car has an aiarm system,
turn it on every time you leave the
car.

Park your car with the wheels
turned sharply into the curb. This
will make it difficult for a thief to
tow your car.

if you park in a parking lot or
garage, choose one that permits
you to Jock your car and take the
key. If you must use valet parking
or an attendant parks your car ina
parking facility, be sure to leave
only the ignition key.

Make certain the key has no
identifying number on it.
Remember to get a parking receipt
and note the location of your car

and the parking lot. : ‘88 GRAND MARQUIS

Don’t leave identification in the

car. Keep your car registration in : e
your wallet or purse — or at least & be) BA §
hide it where a thief can’t find it & Seid z

and use it to impersonate you if ma asad Stk, #016 Stk? #014 Automatic, lefther, Stk. 4C35
stopped by the police. :
The registration can also make it
easier for the thief to sell the car.
To aid in recovery of your car
after it has been stolen, you may
wish to engrave your vehicle iden-
tification number in hard to find
places on the ear.
