Always keep your car doors locked with the windows closed.

Try not to leave valuable items in plain view where they can be seen; lock them in the trunk.

Keep your vehicle key in hand when entering the parking lot or garage.

Make sure that your spare tire and jack are in working order and always make sure that you have enough fuel in your vehicle.

Never give strangers a ride, even if they claim to be students.

If you think you’re being followed, drive to a well lit and populated area or to a police station.

Keep your cell phone charged, ready and activated.

If you break down, stay with your car and call for assistance. Never accept a ride from a stranger.
