Some tips to protect your ride from thieves:
Control your keys: do not leave keys in the vehicle or the engine running unattended; avoid ID tags on your key ring.
Lock up: close windows and lock doors every time, even at home. Check to confirm before your head to bed.
Remove or conceal valuables: best practice is to take them with you; otherwise store items out of sight.
Use visible deterrents: a steering-wheel lock.

Add security: an audible alarm or a disabling device such as an engine/fuel kill switch.
Choose safer parking: well-lit, visible areas with regular foot traffic; use your garage when possible.
Reduce temptation: consider stereos with removable faceplates and take the faceplate with you.
Keep records at home: your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), a description of your vehicle, and serial numbers for installed equipment to assist recovery.
Avoid isolated areas: park near places people regularly use.
Mark your glass: VIN etching on windows can deter theft.
