If possible, turn the wheels of your vehicle sharply toward the curb when parking. This will make it difficult for thieves to tow your vehicle. Make sure that vent windows are shut tight. This is a favorite entry point for many thieves. Wth an electric engraver, etch your driver's license number on tape decks and other removable items. Record your vehicle identification number (located on a small metal plate on the dashboard) and store it in a safe place. Make use of an anti-theft device on your vehicle. When purchasing a vehicle check the manufacturer's list of anti-theft options. Consider the purchase and installation of security devices such as an interior hood lock and release, a second ignition switch or "kill switch" which prevents electrical current from reaching the coil distributor, a fuel switch which prevents fuel from reaching the carburetor or a locking gas cap. Other security devices you might consider includes a locking device for batteries, wheels and tape decks. You might look for an alarm device which will activate a siren, horn or lights -- or all three -- to frighten the thief away before he is able to steal your car.
