So, what are some simple things you can do to help prevent your car from becoming another statistic?
最基本的
- 锁好门.
- Never leave your 车辆 while the engine is running. It doesn't save you much time, and it's an open invitation for thieves to steal your car.
- 带上你的钥匙. Even a spare key hidden out of sight is a bad idea. 的 bad guys tend to know all the hiding places.
- 一路把你的窗户都关上. It's amazing what an experienced car thief can do with a sliver of an opening.
- 保护好汽车的Wi-Fi热点,如果有的话. Hackers could use it to access your car's electronic controls. Remember to have secure passwords and keep the software updated.
- 保护好你的车库. If you park in a garage at home, remember to close the garage door and lock any outside doors. 永远不要把钥匙留在车里.
- 隐藏的贵重物品. Keep your personal belongings out of sight, preferably in the trunk or under a blanket.
汽车安全系统
- 安装防盗装置. If you don't already have one, a simple audible car alarm can help make a difference.
- 考虑车辆回收系统. If your car is stolen, it can be tracked using GPS, transmitter or similar technology.
- 把车牌刻在门或窗户上. Professional thieves know they'd have to remove the etchings to resell the 车辆. You could also have the VIN etched on the 催化转化器 especially if you have a high-profile 车辆 like a pickup truck or SUV.
- 考虑安装一个终止开关. A 开关 can be placed in a hidden location and be wired to the fuel line, battery or ignition to prevent a car from starting, 即使有钥匙.
- 使用方向盘或轮胎锁. 这些安全措施, 附着在方向盘或轮胎上, can be relatively inexpensive and rely on the driver to install them before leaving the car.
停车安全
- 在人口稠密地区的公园. Thieves may be less likely to disturb cars parked on busy, well-lit streets.
- Park smart to help prevent theft via a tow truck. When parking on the street, turn the wheels to the curb and set the emergency brake. When parking a front-wheel drive 车辆 in the driveway or parking lot, 前拉并设置紧急刹车. If rear-wheel drive, back in and set the emergency brake.
买新车的时候
- 找出是哪个 车辆被盗最多. 一些交通工具是比其他更大的目标.
- 考虑多花点钱买个闹钟. It costs more upfront, but it might save you money on 汽车pp王者电子官网 and could make the difference whether your car is stolen or not.
- 研究其他防盗装置. 智能钥匙, 电子跟踪设备, 引擎盖锁, a visible steering wheel lock — t在这里 are plenty of options, 有的便宜,有的贵.
