Please review the following safety tips for protecting your property and vehicle.

PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY

PREVENTING THEFTS FROM VEHICLES:

Install a vehicle alarm or mechanical lock for the steering wheel or ignition.

Always lock the doors and leave the windows rolled up.

Always activate any auto alarms or anti-theft devices.

Keep books, tape players, and other valuables out of sight. Expensive items in full view invite theft even if the vehicle is locked. Don’t advertise the types of equipment you have in your vehicle.

Place valuable items in your trunk not the front or back seats.

Know the license number, year, make and model of your vehicle.

Do not leave money, checkbooks, or credit cards in the vehicle at any time.
