If an auto shop could talk, it would report that a common cause of damage to car windows and doors is due to vandalism. Unfortunately, many vehicle owners have to take time out of their busy schedules to look for an auto shop that can offer quick and convenient vehicle repair. If you have been a victim of vandalism, consider the tips below offered by an auto center that can help prevent vandalism.
Prevent Vandalism with these 6 Safety Tips:
• Valuables left in the open and visible invite vandalism. Keep them out of sight. Don't leave anything of great importance inside the vehicle, especially if you will be away for any period of time.
• Keep a copy of your driver's license, bank and credit card(s), passport or any form of identification at home in a safe place.
• Also keep a list of the items generally carried in your wallet or purse.
• Park in well-lit areas.
• Always lock your car doors.
• Use common sense.
• Check with a law enforcement agency for additional ways to help prevent vandalism.
If you have been a victim:
• Contact your local police department to determine if a vandalism report needs to be filed.
• Contact an auto shop for repair and protect yourself from further vandalism.
• Consult with your insurance company if you have damage to your vehicle or loss of property.
• For a stolen wallet, contact your bank to cancel any bank, credit cards and/or checks. Consider creating a fraud report with the three major credit agencies.
• If your keys were stolen, consider changing the locks on your home.
• If your cell phone was stolen, contact your service provider to lock your phone.
To protect your vehicle from further vandalism, and for your safety, get into an auto shop to have the necessary repair to windows and door and trunk locks as soon as possible.
