🚨 Crime Prevention Advice: Theft from Vehicles – Blue Badges 🚨

Blue Badges are valuable and increasingly targeted by thieves. Here’s how you can protect your vehicle and your badge:

🔒 Prevention Tips

Remove your Blue Badge when not in use — especially overnight or when parked in public areas.

Store it securely out of sight if you must leave it in the vehicle temporarily.

Use a secure holder that locks the badge in place and makes removal difficult.

Park in well-lit, busy areas or secure car parks with CCTV.

Avoid leaving valuables visible inside your vehicle — even small items can attract thieves.

📸 Consider Security Enhancements

Install a dashcam or interior camera.

Use window etching or stickers to deter theft.

Consider alarm systems that trigger on glass break or door tampering.

📞 If Your Blue Badge Is Stolen

Report it immediately to the police via 101.

Contact your local council to request a replacement.

Provide the crime reference number when applying for a new badge.
