When residents of Milford, PA travel to the bigger cities like Philadephia or New York City, there are some ways you need to secure your vehicle so that you are protected when traveling. 

Securing Your Vehicle

1. Park in Well-Lit and Secured Areas

If you are heading to one of these larger cities, it is vital that you spend a few extra dollars and choose well-lit and secured areas. These parking areas will either have an attendant on-site or have cameras that will deter your vehicle from being damaged. Parking lots with lots of light make it difficult to smash and steal a vehicle without being seen. 

2. Hide Your Valuables

If you have electronics, a purse, or other valuable items when traveling, make sure they are out of sight. Those who want to break in are looking for something quick to grab and run. If they do not see anything valuable in your car, they will probably move on to the next. 

3. Secure Your Windows

While you may habitually lock your car, it is important to make sure the windows are also rolled up. If the windows are cracked at all, it is much easier for thieves to break in undetected and steal your property or even the entire car. 

4. Don’t Leave Your Vehicle Running

Even if you lock your car and plan to use the key FOB or code to get back in, you are setting yourself up for disaster. A running car is easy to break into and take off with. If you leave your keys in the car to crank it, even for just a few minutes to defrost, that is all it takes to steal it.
