How to Avoid Car Break-ins

Sick of being the victim of theft? Do you hate replacing your car window every time some scumbag wants to check your car for something to steal? Here's 3 steps to avoid car break-ins, save you some money, and prevent your car window from being smashed by dirty little car burglars.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• nothing but your wits

1. 
    
   Empty

   Hide everything that's in plain view. EVERYTHING! If it looks valuable, it will be to a thief. Don't dangle a juicy burger in the snout of a starving dog. Put items in your trunk. Make your car look like a waste of time.

2. 
    
   Maybe on a busier street

   Park on a busy street, and when the sun drops, grab a spot in a well-lit area. Thieves are less likely to snatch your goods if other concerned citizens can see them doing it. They prefer the dark -kind of like fungus.

3. 
    

   Slap one of these on your car: http://www.nothingtosteal.com
   It's a decal designed to tell window shoppers to move on, because there's "nothing to steal".
   Hope this saves some windows.
