IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE It may be cold outside, but that won’t necessarily prevent your car from getting broken into. Even on those quick trips to the grocery store, where you swear you’ll be in and out in just a minute, a thief has plenty of time to get into your car and make off with as much as they can before the police arrive. While this list is nowhere near exhaustive, here are a few quick tips to prevent your car from getting broken into.

recipe title Of course, the drawback to these security measures is they’ll make it harder for you to get into your car if you ever lock yourself out. If that ever happens, know you can give Pop-A-Lock a call at (502) 895- 6736 in Louisville, (859) 253-6736 in Lexington, or (812) 288-7576 in southern Indiana. PARK IN A WELL-LIT AREA. Park anywhere that offers extra layers of security. If you have access to a garage, use it. If you’re parking in a parking lot, find a place monitored by a security system and is near building entrances and exits. If you have to park along the street, try and find a well-lit spot with lots of road traffic and pedestrians nearby.

Otherwise, put valuable items out of sight in the center console or glove compartment if they’re small or in the trunk if they’re large. In any other case, cover valuables with a blanket or a towel. If you have an expensive stereo system, taking the radio faceplate with you when you leave can actually dissuade someone from stealing it. INVEST IN A SECURITY SYSTEM. A solid auto security system can deter any would-be crooks by sounding an alarm. Many alarm systems today have motion sensors, knock sensors, and sirens to prevent any unwarranted entry. Always let potential thieves know you have an alarm system by putting a sticker on your window. If you can’t afford an alarm system, sometimes a dummy sticker advertising a security system
