Coming back to smashed glass littering the pavement or an empty parking spot where your
00:08
car used to be is a terrible feeling, but there are some easy steps you can take to
00:12
prevent future thefts.

The Firestone Complete Auto Care site says a no-brainer would be to stop leaving your
00:18
car running while you run into a store, for example.
00:21
The site points out that leaving your car unattended and running is illegal in at least
00:25
30 states and Washington, D.C.
00:27
Besides turning your car off, be sure to roll up all the windows and close the sunroof
00:31
and of course lock those doors.
00:34
Money Talks News says the LAPD's sage advice is to keep any valuables in your ride out
00:38
of view when you leave it.
00:40
Take advantage of storage areas like the trunk, the glove compartment, or if you can, hide
00:44
objects under the seat.
00:46
This should prevent thieves from being tempted after doing any window shopping.
00:50
A soft convertible top may be a great look, but the site says it can also attract thieves.
00:55
Without a metal top in place, a crook could easily slice their way into the vehicle.
00:59
To further take away temptation, Money Talks News says the Boulder, Colorado police suggest
01:04
not parking near a big truck or any large objects that can obstruct the view of the
01:08
vehicle or create a hiding spot.
01:10
Instead, stick to well-lit and visible parking spots.
