What can you do to protect your vehicle and its contents?

The San Jose Police Department Auto Theft Unit invests two basic types of crimes: vehicle burglaries and vehicle thefts. To help prevent vehicle thefts and vehicle burglaries, the department suggests:

- Park your car in a well lighted place

- Never leave car keys in your car

- Always lock your car

- Get motion detector lighting for porch and garage areas

- Use visible deterrents, such as a steering wheel locking device

- Don’t leave anything valuable visible
