NW Keeping Your Car Safe

This is a message from Val McPherson Area NW Representative and Administrator for all Aylesbury.

I have been informed by a Coordinator down in the Chalfonts , Chilterns area, that they have had a number of cars damaged and broken into over night of 15/16 March, and as you are all aware opportunists, car thieves jump areas.

If your car has been broken into report to the police on 101 unless you witness your car being broken into then it is 999 telling the police the offender is near-by.

Inform your Insurance Company.

Do  not touch anything in case the police need to take finger prints or carry out other investigations.

Make a note of anything missing or stolen and photograph any damage done to your vehicle. Your Insurance company may require this information.

So here are some safety tips to keep your Car Safe:

  Do not leave your keys in the ignition or door open when your car is unattended. 

  Make sure your car is secure with the roof, sunroof ,windows and doors all locked.

  Do not leave valuables in your car where they can be seen and stolen.

  Do not leave car documents, credit cards in your car.

  If you cannot park your car on your drive make sure it is parked in a well lit area or secure car park.

  Most sure your alarm is working in your car.

  Fit lockable wheel nuts , fuel cap and other security devices available.

  If you have Keyless car fob's some allow you to switch off the wireless signals. Check with your manufacturer. If  not please keep your fobs well out of site  especially away from the front of  your property. 

I sell Faraday signal blocking pouches in two size, one small @ £3.00 each which will take a single fob, or a larger one at £4.00 each  which takes a mobile phone or two fobs. This prevents access to your vehicle by blocking your car key from transmitting its code to the vehicle. If interested please email me on valpranddnhwatch@aol.com or reply to this message'

Take care and keep safe.
