Get DirectionsDuring the holiday season, crime increases. People are out spending money and shopping and the criminals know this. One of the questions that we at the Insurance Center of Green Valley, serving the greater Green Valley, AZ area, are asked is whether there is any way to prevent a car from being broken into during the holiday season. Here are a few tips that you can use to help keep your car safe.
Do Not Store Valuables in Your Car
When you are getting ready to go to a mall or shopping center, take valuable items out of your car. This includes money, cell phones, designer sunglasses, your purse or pricey jackets. If your car is empty, there is nothing for a thief to break in and try to get.
Hide Your Holiday Packages
If you must keep holiday packages in your car, place the items in the trunk offsite. Do not move the items from your backseat to the trunk after you have parked in the parking lot. Thieves can see this. Doing it offsite helps to minimize the likelihood that they will know anything is in the car.
Park in a Well-Lit Area
The last tip is to park in a well-lit area. Thieves don’t want to be seen and it is more likely they will be if there is a lot of light. Try to park near lights to keep your car as safe as possible.
Despite your best efforts, you cannot prevent all crime. If a thief wants into your car, they may find a way in regardless. Having the right auto insurance in place helps to minimize the amount you will have to pay out-of-pocket for the items they stole and the damage they caused.
