Watch Your Windows This Summer

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.

Third Annual Vehicle Theft Protection Education Initiative Announced

Brian — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:18:22 +0000

With carjackers and wiser thieves preying on vehicles today, the need to be safe and secure with various initiatives has become a growing need. However, the problem is that some car owners fail to be well-oriented on the preventive measures for such incidents, something that Lo Jack and the National Insurance Crime Bureau want to enhance with the Third Annual Vehicle Theft Protection Education Initiative.

“In today’s challenging economy, many people are keeping their vehicles longer, which is creating a brisk business for thieves who steal popular cars, trucks, motorcycles and heavy equipment, strip them down and sell off the parts,” said D.J. Thompson, Law Enforcement Director for LoJack and theft prevention expert.

As references to help motorists to become aware of such threats, added resources have been put up by the two groups:

New Audio Podcast: In LoJack and NICB’s latest educational podcast (http://bit.ly/4raiEx), a victim of vehicle theft details how his 2000 Honda Civic was stolen, taken to Mexico and later recovered.
New Twitter Page: LoJack and NICB’s Vehicle Theft Protection Twitter page – http://twitter.com/TheftProtection – is designed to help drivers better understand how to protect their cars, trucks and motorcycles from theft.
Downloadable Booklet: “Get in the Know” – http://bit.ly/kZt94 – is an educational booklet co-produced by LoJack and NICB that details the steps owners can take to protect their vehicles from theft.
