Do not leave valuables (phones/electronics, wallets/purses, jewelry) or loose money lying visible in your vehicle.
Have your car keys in your hand before you reach your car.
After you check around your car, enter quickly and lock all of your doors.
If your car is bumped in traffic, don’t get out of the car. Use your cell phone to call 911. Sometimes carjackers use this technique so they can overpower you when you exit your vehicle and steal your car.
Even if you are just running inside for a minute, make sure you always roll up all windows, turn the car off, lock the doors and take the keys with you.
