Essential Tips to Prevent Auto Theft

Auto theft is still a risk in Canada, but with a few smart precautions, you can reduce your risk and keep your vehicle safe.

Keep Your Car Secure:

  • Protect Your Key Fob – Store it in a Faraday pouch to block signal hacking.
  • Lock Everything – Always lock your car, home, and garage.
  • Use Physical Locks – A steering wheel or brake pedal lock adds extra protection.
  • Install an Immobilizer – Professionally installed devices prevent hot-wiring.
  • Park Smart – Keep high-value vehicles in the driveway’s safest spot.
  • Hide Valuables – Never leave items in sight.
  • Never Leave It Running – Always turn off and lock your vehicle when stepping away.
  • Use a GPS Tracker – Devices like Air Tags can help track a stolen car.
  • Install Security Systems – Motion sensors and cameras deter thieves.
  • Cover Your VIN – Prevent thieves from cloning your vehicle’s identity.

A little precaution goes a long way—stay alert and protect your ride today!
