Vehicle Theft Prevention Tips
Vehicle theft remains a concern in many Toronto neighbourhoods. The Toronto Police Service has provided the following precautionary tips for residents to help prevent auto thefts:
Park in the garage, if possible;
Strategically park vehicles in the driveway (less valuable vehicle blocking in the more valuable);
Store your key fob in the middle of your house, in a signal-blocking container;
Never leave your vehicle running and unattended;
Install an anti-theft system in your vehicle (such as a steering wheel locking device);
Install a floodlight to brighten your driveway;
Point any cameras in the direction of your driveway;
Avoid leaving valuables in the vehicle; and
Avoid leaving garage door remotes in your vehicle overnight.
