How about that a motor vehicle is stolen every 45 seconds in the Malaysia and that only 57 percent of stolen vehicles are ever recovered? ACPG Motor Fans Club wants to make sure you do everything you can to prevent your car from being stolen by providing a few helpful facts and tips.

How to Prevent Your New Car from Being Stolen

According to the statis, 40 to 50% of car theft is due to the driver’s error, so taking a few preventative measures can go a long way in protecting your car from theft.

• Don’t forget to take your keys! Many times people are in a rush and they leave their keys in the ignition or on the seat or on top of the car. This is especially easy to do with keyless entry technology that comes with many newer cars

• Lock all the doors, roll up all the windows, make sure the trunk is locked and don’t ever leave the vehicle running, even for a short errand. This is your first line of defense; don’t make your car an easy target for thieves.

• Park in areas that are well lit, open and populated. Park in view of a security camera, security guard or parking attendant, when possible. Park in your garage if you have one. And don’t leave your car in a parking lot for an extended period of time.

• Don’t leave valuables in the car, and never have them visible. It’s a no-brainer for a car thief, to choose the car with the iPod and GPS in plain view, versus a car with nothing valuable visible?

• Get a protective device: An audible car alarm, a steering wheel and brake and wheel locks all create an extra step for thieves, which can scare them away, or make them opt for an easier target. There are also electronic devices that prevent thieves from hot-wiring your car, or devices that cut off the flow of electricity or fuel to the engine.

• Have your VIN number etched into your window. Having your vehicle identification number (VIN) etched on all the windows on your car makes the thief think twice about taking your car because it is easier for the police to trace and recover the vehicle. Law enforcement agencies will sometimes offer free window etching events.

• Close your windows & lock your doors (the simplest & easiest prevention technique).
  
• Remove valuables or place them in the trunk of your automobile.
  
• Remove 'pull-out' style radio face plates (if equipped).
  
• Park in well lit areas when possible. 
  
• Park where your car will be easily & frequently viewed (natural surveillance). 
  
• Park in your garage if you have one. 
  
• Use a car alarm, it will alert anyone nearby.

Auto Theft Prevention

AUTO SAFETY TIPS

Auto Thefts and Prowls in the Puyallup area are on the rise, as they are throughout Pierce County. However, there are some simple precautions that you can take to preclude you from becoming a victim of this inconvenient and expensive crime.

• Never leave your car running or with the keys in the ignition when you are away from it, even if you are planning to "be back in a minute." Why give the thief an easy target?
• Always keep the doors locked and windows up, even when the car is parked in your driveway or in front of your home. (This is also a good idea when you are in the car and driving around.)
• Never leave valuables in plain view, even in a locked car. Lock them in the trunk or at least store them out of sight if you must leave them in the car.
• Park in well lit (under a street light or in direct glare of porch/garage lights) and busy areas. Don't give the thief an opportunity to use darkness as a cover for their crimes.
• Carry insurance and registration cards with you. Do not leave them in the vehicle. Don't leave any personal documents (credit cards, check books or mail) with your name and address on them.
• If you leave your car in a parking garage/lot or take it in for repairs, leave only the ignition key with the attendant or repairman. Be sure that no personal information is attached to it (ie: nametag with address on key chain.)
• Know the make, model year and color of your vehicle. Keep a copy of your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and vehicle's license plate number in your wallet or purse, so if your vehicle is stolen you can accurately report the car information promptly.
• Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Look around before you exit the safety of your vehicle as well as looking into and under your vehicle before getting into it. If it doesn't feel or look right, get away and report it!
• Report all suspicious or unusual persons, cars or activities to police immediately!

If your car is stolen, report it immediately by calling 999. The sooner the police know it is missing the better the chances of locating it. Additionally, if you notice abandoned vehicles in your neighborhood, report them as well. They could be someone's stolen vehicle that the thief has abandoned.

Most Theft from Autos usually has one thing in common: there’s something left in the car worth stealing. Most theft from auto is "crimes of opportunity” that could be prevented by taking some preventative steps.

1. Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle: You’d be surprised how often this happens, but individuals leave valuable items in plain sight all the time. If you leave items in your vehicle and they’re visible, the chances your vehicle will get broken into increase greatly.

2. Place items out of sight BEFORE reaching your destination: Someone may be watching when you put your valuables under a seat or in the trunk and the moment you’re gone, a thief could break into your car. So place those items in a safe place before you get to the park, beach, baseball game, etc. Valuable items that thieves target are GPS units, MP3 players, credit cards, money, packages and so forth. If you can’t take the items with you, secure them in a safe place in your vehicle, like a locked glove compartment or your trunk.

3. Avoid leaving packages or shopping bags out in the open: Lock them into your trunk, if you have to leave the vehicle unattended.

4. Lock ALL of your vehicle’s doors: This is true even if you plan on only being gone for "just a second”. Remember, it only takes seconds to steal items from your car. It’s not uncommon, for thieves to walk down a row of parked vehicles, looking for unlocked doors. Also, make sure car windows aren’t left open.

5. Park in busy, well lit areas: Pick a parking spot where there is a lot of activity. Auto thieves prefer breaking into cars in isolated areas.

6. Don’t leave a trace: Don’t leave any sign that there might be valuables "out of sight” in your vehicle. For example: the suction cup on your dashboard, might tell thieves, that you have a GPS system in your vehicle. Leave nothing in plain view. Very few auto break-ins are "random”. The thieves usually see something out in the open or hints of possible hidden valuables.

7. Alarms or anti-theft devices work: Thieves are usually looking for the "easiest” target. If your car has an alarm, it could act as a deterrent. But don’t make this common mistake: Just because you have an alarm, doesn’t mean thieves won’t break-in, IF you leave valuable items in plain sight.

8. Don’t leave spare keys in your vehicle: An experienced thief knows all the hiding places. Store spare keys elsewhere, possibly your wallet or purse.

9. Always report suspicious activity.

10. Keep your POLICE officer updated on concerns or issues you may have.

* Make sure your car is lock at all times.
* Never leave your vehicle running while unattended.
* Always remove your keys while refueling.
* Keep all personal items, such as checkbook, personal identification, credit cards, purses, GPS’s, wallet and CD’s out of view.
* Always activate any anti-theft you have on your vehicle.
* Don’t hide spare keys in your car.
* Engrave your driver license number on stereos and car phone.
* Never leave high tech devices such as cellular phones, portables TV’s, and compact disc players visible.
* Always, Always, Always, Always report suspicious activity to the police.

Home Safety Tips: How to make your home a safer place

Personal Safety at Home

It happens on streets, in cars, in schools, in parks, in alleys. The rapist has no regard for age, race or social status. Rape is not a selective crime. It is in most cases, random.

Personal safety, however, must begin with the individual. Help protect yourself by taking the steps to protect yourself from sexual assaults.

Be aware of the possibility of being raped....it could happen to YOU.

Safety at Home

Replace or re-key locks when you move into a new home or apartment. Install a door viewer and a 1 inch deadbolt lock and use them. Look before opening your door to anyone.

Keep doors locked at all times and instruct children never open your door to anyone.

Require all strangers to show identification. If you haven't called for a repairman, don't let one inside. Leave him waiting outside and call his place of business to verify his reason for being in your area.

Rape is the fastest rising violent crime in America. What can we do to prevent this crime from happening to you? Listed below are safety tips for you to follow that can reduce your risk of assault and/or rape.

Secure you car and home. Keep a large flashlight, a cell phone, a map of the city you are in, and five to ten dollars with you when in a car. The flashlight can be used as a light or weapon; the phone is to call for help; and the five dollars is for car emergencies only (eg., new windshield wipers or gas). Always keep your doors and windows locked and evaluate the effectiveness of the locks. Never open your door to a stranger and never tell them you are alone.

Avoid unsafe situations and strangers. If you are being followed, go to the nearest police or fire department, or any place where several people will be (convenience stores, gas station, etc.) Walk in groups at night.

Flee if you are in a potentially dangerous situation. Yell or scream to attract attention. Carry a whistle that will make a loud noise.

Engage in passive or active resistance. Passive resistance is to think and talk your way out of a situation. Active resistance is to react immediately to startle your attacker. Use any available item (HAIRSPRAY, KEYS, PURSE) as a weapon.

Think! Keep using your mind to think of alternative actions for escape.

You are responsible for your own safety. Call your local police department or rape crisis center and set up a schedule for a Law Enforcement Officer to speak to your employees or neighbors.

Don't let a stranger inside your home to use the phone; make the call for him.

Never admit that you or a neighbor are home alone.

Women living alone should use only initials on mailboxes and in telephone listings.

Leave outside lights on at night, and keep lights on in more than one room.

If you receive an obscene phone call-hang up-don't react.
