Asides from the good food, cheer, and gifts, another factor synonymous with the festive season is the increase in theft and break-ins. Many people are distracted by the excitement, hustle, and bustle that they pay little or no attention to the potential risks that come with the season.
As expected, cars are mostly affected during the holidays because it is believed that they contain lots of valuables, hence the need to always be a step ahead of carjackers.
Consider these five ways to protect your valuables and car over the Sallah Holidays:
Keep Your Valuables Out Of Sight
Shopping often goes hand in hand with the holiday season. As you go from store to store, shopping for gifts, food, and other items, NEVER leave your bags and packages in the back seat of your car. Be sure to put them in the trunk away from the sight of thieves.
Be Vigilant About Locking Up
One important way to keep your car safe is to be vigilant about locking up. When leaving your car (even for a second), wind up your windows and lock your doors because you can never tell who is waiting to grab your valuables.
Drive Carefully
Ensure that your car is in good condition to reduce the chances of a breakdown as you drive. Reduce late-night trips especially when you do not know all the police checkpoints on the highway you are traveling on. Do not drink and drive!
Be Security Cautious
Avoid any form of distraction while driving, be cautious of hitchhikers and other unknown persons seeking your attention, this might be a plot to distract and rob you.
Before you leave your car, double-check on the doors, watch and identify people who are around there. If you are not comfortable, look for another parking area.
