It is estimated that almost one million vehicles will be stolen in the United States every year. While Georgia residents might not be thinking of their car getting stolen every day, their insurance companies are. When you take the steps to prevent your vehicle from being stolen, you reduce your risk of becoming a victim of car theft.

You also might reduce your premiums with your Georgia auto insurance company. 

At Commerce Insurance Agency, we want Commerce, GA drivers to be protected from car theft, and covered in the event it should happen to them. If your car gets stolen it is not your fault. Take these steps to minimize that possibility.

Lock Your Car

It makes common sense, but not everybody remembers to do this. Locking your car keeps the thieves one step further away from taking it from you. 

Car alarms today are effective deterrents, and these can be triggered when a thief tries to get in your car. Keep your car locked and windows closed to deter theft.

Keep Valuables in the House

One of the first things that thieves look for when they are stealing a car is the valuables inside. Don’t keep expensive things in your car.

It’s tempting to leave a GPS device in the car until you need it again, or forget an iPad overnight. In this day and age, it’s easy to forget anything in the car.

Get into the habit of remembering to clear out the car every time.

Park in Well-Lit Area

Park in a place where someone is more likely to get spotted if they are trying to steal your car. Put your car under a streetlight or motion sensor so that your car is lit should anybody come.

Parking in line with a security camera will also be effective.
