8 Tips for Avoiding Car Theft
I feel like every time I open a news website there is a headline about a vehicle being stolen in Minnesota. It is one of my biggest fears, and it seems like that fear just keeps growing. A couple of years ago my neighborhood was hit with a spree of car thefts. Police figured out it was teenagers going driveway to driveway opening cars that were unlocked looking for valuable things to take. I learned my lesson when it comes to leaving a car unlocked. Even if you think you're safe, you never know what will happen.
While I can't prevent car thefts from happening, I can share a list of tips I found on preventing them to the best of our abilities.
