When parking, do not leave valuables visible from outside the car. Lock the doors and close the windows even when driving.
(3) Measures against break-ins A. If you are going to be away for an extended period of time, try not to leave any valuables behind. Be sure to lock your doors.
(i) Turn on the lights in your residence (security lights) so that no one realizes that you will be away for an extended period of time.
c) Set an alarm system so that a security company can be called in if there is a break-in.
