Prevent vehicle and property theft

Protect your vehicle and valuables:

  • Thieves are opportunistic.
  • They may not be interested in stealing your vehicle, instead interested in what’s inside.
  • They will look inside to identify anything of value.
  • Thieves will damage your car including smashing a window to steal valuables from console, floor or seats.
  • It’s simple, don’t leave anything visible inside your car.
