- Never leave your car unlocked or ignited when nobody is sitting inside the car. Generally, we all think that who will turn off the car, go to the shop, buy the things, get back into the car and turn it on again! Instead, we run into the shop by keeping our car ignited in expectation that we will return soon. Such negligence boosts the morale of the thieves. So, never leave your car unattended.

We are asking this question because most of the people keep their cellphone, purse, cash and other important things just on the dashboard of the car. Such openness attracts the attention of the robbers. So, either carry such things along with you while getting off your car or keep them inside a secure place (that is unnoticeable from the outside).
- Equip the car with a GPS tracker. These days, you don’t need to buy a special tracking device. Instead your cellphone can serve that purpose for you. Just carry a mobile phone and its charger, whenever you take a ride in your car. Furthermore, keep the mobile device on a silent mode and on the auto answer mode. This is why; even if your car will get stolen by some wrongdoer, you will be able to locate it with the help of the police officials or the mobile company.
- In case you are travelling in a theft prone area, make sure that you turn off the fuel pump switch, whenever you get off the car. You can cut the switch and place it nearby the driver seat, but way from visibility (probably under the carpet). This will prevent the thief from driving away your car.
- Use wheel locks, gear locks and other theft deterrents. Any obstacle that complicates stealing a car can make thieves change the choice of the car to steal or break into.
- Usually thieves move through parking lots trying to open unlocked car doors, this calls for a serious locking of the doors to make sure they are tight.
If you keep just these tips in mind, you will be able to give longer life and problem-free life to your vehicle. As per the recent law in Dubai, if you leave your car and unattended in a parking lot, you will have to pay a fine of 300 Emirati Dirhams. So, take the necessary precautions, and drive safely!
