Auto Theft Layers of Protection

• Always lock your car, even at home in your garage.
• Roll up your windows.
• Never leave valuables in your car.
• Use a visible anti-theft device like a steering wheel lock, etc.
• Use an alarm system with an electrical cutoff to disable the car.
• When shopping or parking in large parking lots, always park as close to any activity as possible.
• If possible, equip your car with a tracking device like "Lo Jack" or GM's "On Star" system. This will aid in recovery of your vehicle.

• No one device works all the time. Thats why you need to consider layers of protection.
