Please be aware that in the Lady Bay area 4 cars were been broken into over
the past weekend. The method used was either by force or having the locks
drilled out. stereos, bluetooth headphones and sat navs were stolen.
POLICE ADVICE:
1. Remove everything of value when you leave your vehicle unattended even
an old coat may attract a thief.
2. Motorcars are not designed to be thief proof. Should you regularly
carry high value items consider having a security safe fitted into the boot.
3. If you have a garage at home, throw out all the rubbish and keep your
car locked inside when not in use, apply the security and empty items of
value.
4. Should you be forced to park in the street, try to park where you can
see your car and apply all security fitted. If you don't have any security
devices buy some!
5. A security alarm will not stop someone breaking into your car, but it
will attract attention when it activates.
6. Never leave your keys on display at home, hide them. High value cars
need a self-activating Tracker device.
7. Most Insurance proposal forms ask if you keep your car in a secure
garage when not in use? Most people answer Yes to this question, should you
claim and the Insurer's become aware that this is not so, this may cause
problems with your pay out.
8. Please heed this advice it could well prevent you becoming a victim.
