SAT NABBED?

‘Remove it or lose it’

You wouldn’t normally leave £300 sitting on your dashboard when you park your car would you? But that’s exactly what you’re doing if you leave your Satellite Navigation Equipment on display. Car thieves like to window shop as well and if you give them a chance they will take it.

 To them your Satellite Navigation System is worth a lot less when they sell it on illegally. However, you will end up having to repair any damage caused breaking in to your car - replacing a window or repairing a door - and of course buying new Satellite Navigation Equipment. It will be a lot of hassle. It’s also going to be expensive. 

But it doesn’t have to be like that. You can significantly reduce the chance

of your vehicle being targeted by taking a few simple precautions:

bullet Disconnect and remove your Satellite Navigation system every time you leave your car and keep it somewhere safe (not in the car).
bullet Remove the suction mounted fittings and erase any marks they leave.
bullet Mark your Satellite Navigation equipment system using special security markers with either your postcode and house number, your vehicle registration number or another unique number.
bullet Making a note of the make, model and serial number of the Satellite Navigation equipment. Record this information on www.immobilise.com 
bullet Don’t leave anything on view in your car. Thieves are opportunists and it only takes them moments to break into your car.
bullet Lock all doors and windows, not forgetting the sunroof, when leaving your car.
bullet Never leave the keys in the ignition when your car is unattended, even while you’re paying for petrol.
bullet Use car parks that are part of the police approved safer parking scheme. Approved car parks display the official ‘Park Mark’ sign. www.britishparking.co.uk

MAKE SURE YOU DON’T BECOME A VICTIM OF CRIME
