🔒 Vehicle Security Tips & Hints 🔒
To help protect your vehicle from theft, consider the following smart security measures:
1. Lock It Every Time - Always lock doors and close windows—even if you're stepping away for just a moment.
2. Don’t Leave Valuables on Display - Remove bags, electronics, and other items from view to avoid attracting attention.
3. Use Multiple Layers of Security - Steering wheel locks, pedal locks, and gearstick locks are visible deterrents. - Consider installing a GPS tracker for recovery if stolen.
4. Upgrade Your Alarm System - Factory alarms can be bypassed—aftermarket systems with motion sensors and immobilisers offer stronger protection.
5. Park Smart - Choose well-lit, busy areas or secure garages. - Avoid leaving your car in isolated or poorly lit spots overnight.
6. Keyless Entry? Be RF-Savvy - Use Faraday pouches to block relay signals from key fobs. - Never leave keys near doors or windows.
7. CCTV & Doorbell Cameras - Home surveillance can deter thieves and provide evidence if needed.
📞 If you saw anything suspicious or have footage from the area, please contact Staffordshire Police on 101 or report anonymously via Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
