Ensuring against theft

Car crime, on average, is decreasing. However, theft of goods such as mobile phones, sat navs and audio systems is increasing. Police are so concerned about this increase in personal belongings theft that in some areas they have been using various methods to alert unobservant motorists when they have left such items in clear view of passersby.

However, some of the methods used seem to be helping criminals not hindering their actions. For example, Kent police had been attaching yellow tickets to car windscreens whose owners had left something valuable on display. But the yellow tickets on the outside of the car have been criticised as more eye catching than the goods inside the car.

Basically, if you have expensive kit inside your car, especially sound and audio systems, don't leave it on display. Luckily the visible parts of most modern sound systems can be removed easily from the car, removing all temptation for potential thieves. If the temptation isn't there, nine times out of ten a criminal won't go and hunt it out, usually because they are far from being part of an organised crime ring and are more likely to be bored teenagers.

But it is better to be safe than sorry. Of course everyone needs insurance to drive legally on the roads, but some insurance companies can offer additional insurance to cover particular items of value that may be left in the car, such as stereos and sat navs. Kwik Fit Insurance for example use a panel of insurers to find you the best deal and this can include special contents cover. However, remember to state the make and model of your audio system and sat nav as well as their current market value when you take out any new insurance policy.
