Safeguarding Your Keys
Safeguarding Your Keys
There are a number of ways in which you can take precautions to better protect your keys as follows:
a) Never attach anything to your keys that contains your name, address or any details of where your car may frequently be parked and never leave keys unattended.
b) Never hide keys under door mats, bins or on top of window frames as an opportunistic thief may be watching, or may guess where keys may be hidden.
c) Never leave doors or windows open, even by a small amount.
d) Never leave your keys in your vehicle, even for a moment, especially when you are visiting petrol stations, or whilst loading or unloading your vehicle. Always lock your car when leaving it.
e) Do not keep duplicate keys on the same key ring as your main keys.
f) Burglars are increasing turning to key crime as sophisticated security measures are now fitted as standard to new cars, and have been known to break into homes and offices just to steal car keys. Never leave car keys close to the front door where they can be seen.
