Meyer provided tips in order not to fall prey to carjacking:
- Physically check that your windows and doors are locked before you leave your vehicle
- Double check if your car is securely locked, do not just activate your car alarm and walk away
- Park your car in a place where there is visible security video surveillance
- If you plan to leave your car unattended, make sure you park in a busy public space
- Do not leave valuables in your car visible to criminals, make sure all valuable items are safely hidden
- When you park your vehicle in your yard make sure that it is securely locked.
