Leeds Locksmiths are working hard to try and advise people about car security across West Yorkshire
Did you know…?
· In 2007 Leeds was ranked 12th county in the country for stealing from cars.
· On average, 1 in 70 UK households had a car stolen in the last 12 months.
· Most car thefts are a matter of opportunity.
Stealing from a car is an opportunistic crime and is therefore preventable. The information provided below explains how you can keep your car safer and help prevent car crimes.
Keep Your Valuables and Possessions Safe
· Don’t tempt thieves by leaving valuables unattended or on display in your car. Coats, mobile phones, CDs and loose change can be a target for thieves. Always take your belongings with you when you leave your car
· Never leave your GPS navigation device or laptop in your car and ensure you wipe away any suction marks left on the windscreen; they are a tell tale sign that you may have a GPS stored in your car.
· Remove any documents from your car which identify where you live – your home might be the thieves’ next target. Don’t leave important documents in your car, including identification cards, licence or registration papers. A thief could use these to dispose of your car.
Use Security Devices
· Install a high quality electronic alarm in your car. A high quality, audible alarm is a good deterrent to theft. Ensure you activate it every time you park, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
· Prevent theft of your licence plates by securing them with tamper resistant one way security screws.
Keep Your Car Keys Safe
· Always take the key out of the ignition and lock the car whenever you leave it, even if it is for a minute or two, e.g. when filling up. Your car and belongings can be stolen in an instant.
· Don’t leave spare keys hidden in your car. Thieves know all the hiding places.
· Keep your keys in a safe place at home. Never leave them in an obvious place. Never leave your keys on your desk at work or in easily accessible places like in your bag or on a table.

Getting Away From Life to Get Back In It
Your life isn’t all fun in the sun, is it? After my wife and I spent a full week away from the real world on our vacation, it was time for us to face the music. From high interest rates on our credit cards and our car loan to house projects left unfinished, she and I had our work cut out for us. And I’m persistent old dog, so I wasn’t quitting on my GPS project, either.
First we addressed the credit cards. Thankfully, even in this time of tough credit, credit card companies and auto loan agencies seem eager to please people with good credit. My wife did a great job isolating the best deal on a zero percent credit card.
I’m grateful someone in the household has some responsible sense of our finances… and it sure as heck isn’t me. But the lower interest and smaller monthly bills should really supply us a little extra breathing room.
Then we had to address a number of home betterments we had been designing for quite some time. Some might say we have no business investing in betterments at this time, but what can I say? We prefer to stubbornly push onward.
My wife has been looking over the different available steam showers and we both agree on the bathroom lighting and bathroom sinks we want for our bathroom remodel, but after looking over some discount bedding tips, we’re no longer on the same page for the new bedding.
Thankfully, she’s being either supportive or patient of my small gadget obsession. I’m not too bad about it, but I have my weakness. Presently I have narrowed it down to a handheld tv, DVD projector or a Garmin Golflogix GPS. Speaking of GPS, we both agree it is time to invest in a bluetooth GPS.
I believe GPS technology has refined enough and become inexpensive enough that we need to incorporate it into our life.
I am only assuaged my girl and I are on the same page for most of this stuff. People’s lives can be so much more difficult when the people around them use our problems as launching places for their pride rather than chances to unify and mature.
