The SAPS have compiled a list of safety tips for the community to take into account when they are parking their vehicles:
- Avoid parking your motor vehicle where there are no security officers guarding other cars.
- Do not leave your firearm in the motor vehicle’s glove compartment or anywhere in the vehicle when you park the vehicle (this is against the law).
- Make sure that all the doors and windows are properly locked when you park your vehicle.
- Valuable items like a laptop and camera should be put in the boot of your vehicle if left in the vehicle while parked.
- At night, park in well-lit areas.
- If in doubt about the safety of an area, phone a police station for advice.
- Practice the same prevention skills you apply in parking lots or garages at home.
- Do not leave your keys in the ignition.
- Remove detachable radios and the radio’s face when getting out of the car.
- Try to fit an alarm and/or anti-theft device in your car.
