HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYONE !

DO YOU START YOUR CAR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TO WARM UP BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK?

There have been several reports over this past winter in the U.S and Canada where parents have started the car to warm it up, loading the kids in, and then left to go back in the house for a second to grab one last thing. In some cases, the owner returned before an onlooker ran over to steal the car. On January 9th a man was arrested for stealing a vehicle left running with a child inside of it on Christmas Day. The car was taken from a gas station in Fergus. Thankfully, the car was later found in Fergus with the child still inside unharmed.

One out of every eight cars stolen in 2015 could have been the work of a total amateur with no expertise cracking anti-theft devices—or even knowledge of how to break into a locked vehicle. That is because these thefts occurred when the cars were unlocked, and the keys or car’s FOB were inside, according to a new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).

ASK YOURSELF:

How often have you ever started the car…. left the keys in the ignition; then ran back in the house or convenience store to grab one thing quickly?

RULE:

1) Do not ever leave a vehicle running, unattended with doors unlocked….even for a second. 2) Do not leave extra keys in car. That includes the trunk.
