Access to a car by bystanders starts with windows. Normally, these are kept closed but knowing how thieves operate, they will always find some way to break into your car and steal some of the things that they see such as your expensive car radio or maybe even the stuff you leave carelessly in your car.

Post Office Car Insurance takes the initiative in reminding motorists on the importance of making sure that windows are closed and making sure that valuables left inside their car are kept out of sight. By doing these simple reminders, you can save yourself the trouble of your car being broken into and losing some prized possessions.

Will it flourish, or will it be assigned to the digital reject bin, like Mini Discs and HD-DVD?

Digital radio is an impressive enough format – possessing cleaner and improved sound, extra channels, track title and artist info, pause and rewind, downloadable music and images, just to name a few features.

Commercial Radio Australia’s CEO Joan Warner said that talks with the auto industry are underway, working towards a solution for the DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) system.
