vehicle safety


From PCSO Moulding,

 

We have seen over this last year a number of cars stolen from driveways,roadsides and private property in general.

We have shared reports of this and given advice accordingly such as hiding valuables,moving keys from the front of the house,and parking under street lighting.

but the issues are really about the modern car,the car that can be started from over the road via a laptop and taken,quite often without the owners knowledge.

 

The advice to date,is very old school,but actually has some well meaning ideas in preventing theft,

such as ,

steering wheel lock,foot pedal locks,handbrake and wheel locks.

All of these are of relative prive by comparison to your car,but are proving  to be useful in that once your car is unlocked digitally,and started,the last thing any thief wants to do is dismantle a lock placed on or in the car,this is time wasting,and likely unexpected from the technical thief,one such case the owner found there car running on the driveway,never to be taken due the internal locks placed on the steering wheel and the pedals.

 

so,for an extra layer of security and at a good budget,time to think old school.

 

Thank you
