W6: Ways To Prevent Car Thief

I read an article is called “How To Screw Up a Car Thief’s Day.”  The article teaches you how to prevent car thief and I think that is useful.
First, park your car in a populated area, since thieves prefer to work out of sight of people and electronic recording devices.

Second, take your keys with you, even if you just going into the convenience store, you should turn off your engine and take the keys with you. Even someone stay in the car because we had seemed so many examples in the reality or in the movies such as The Marine talks about how those car thief turn into a kidnapper.

Third, do not hide your keys anywhere within or outside the car, and you should know that thieves know better the places to hide keys than you do.

Fourth, disable your battery if you planned to park for a long period, since thief will not spend time trying to find out the engine problem, you may consider to disable one of the cable wire to your battery if you park your car along the roadside for more than a few days.

Last, you should mark your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)  to your trunk, doors, sound system components or any pricey parts that thieves are likely to take it with them. It’ll be more possible to find them back with the VIN once they are stolen.
