Keep your vehicle safe with the following tips ...
๐ Vehicle parked in a visible location, or off the street if possible.
๐ Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
๐ Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
๐ Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.
๐ Number plates secured with anti-theft screws (available at car accessory stores).
๐ Alloy wheels secured with fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts.
๐ Car ownership information stored at home, not in the vehicle.
๐ Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
๐ If the vehicle is keyless, โkeysโ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.
๐ Get to know neighbours & their vehicles so youโll know if you see something that doesnโt seem right.
Always report suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.
If it's already happened, phone 105 or report at 105.police.govt.nz.
