Protect Your Car from Theft

It’s unfortunate, but thousands of unsuspecting motorists face car theft or carjackings each year. Here at Sleek and Williamson Insurance, we not only provide the coverage and service to give you peace of mind, but also the tools and information to keep you safe!

Tips to Stay Safe!

To minimize the threat of your car being stolen:

• Keep your registration card in your wallet instead of your glove compartment.
• Use paint or an indelible marker to put the vehicle identification number (VIN) under the engine hood and trunk lid and on the battery. This number is usually found on the dashboard on the driver’s side of the car.
• If you have to leave personal property in your car, lock it in the trunk. Keep electronics and other items of value out of site at all times.
• Keep your car in a garage and lock the garage door.
• Use a security device like a steering wheel lock or a gear shift column lock.

If your car is stolen, have the following information ready to give to the police:

• The year, make, model and color of the car.
• The approximate time the car was stolen.
• A description of anyone you may have seen loitering around your car before it was stolen.
• The names of any witnesses.
