ADVICE TO MOTORISTS

A Always lock your car and never leave your keys in the car. Sounds . obvious, but how often have you left your car unlocked while you paid for fuel at a service station or dashed into a shop? A recently-passed law will ensure that you never forget again — heavy penalties apply.

B Always lock valuables in the boot. Most car crime is opportunistic, so don't make it easy. And if something is too valuable to lose, the golden rule is, take it with you.

C Thieves need little incentive. Most thefts from cars are carried out by youngsters looking for nothing more than a few dollars, so don.'t leave coin-holders if they can be seen from outside. The cost of repairs often far outweighs the value of what is stolen.

D At night, always try to park in a brightly-lit area where your vehicle can be seen by passers-by. Poorly-lit streets are a thief's favourite hunting ground.

E Never park where you can see broken glass from car windows on the ground. Thieves are creatures of habit and will return to the scene of past successes.

F Install a car alarm.

G Where available, use car parks that are well lit and have boom gates Don't leave your parking ticket in the car.

H In high-risk areas leave your glove box and ashtray open to show thieves that there is nothing in the car worth taking.
