Cyprus Police recommends the following Vehicle Theft Prevention Tips:
- Install an alarm system in your car
- Make sure your car is insured for theft
- Park your car in your garage as much as possible or in busy, well lit spaces
- Lock doors and windows and activate any security devices, no matter if you have parked your car in front of your house.
Do not tempt thieves
-By leaving in plain sight bags, briefcases, cell phones, coins, wallets or any other personal belongings, no matter if your car is locked. Regardless of the items value, the chances your vehicle will get broken into and damaged increase greatly if you leave items in visible sight.
-By leaving the engine running when you leave the driver's seat. Always take the keys out of the ignition even if you are going to be away for just 2 minutes. Make sure you always have your car keys with you.
