Good morning,
Unfortunately, there have been a couple of vehicles stolen recently within the Farnborough area, therefore I wanted to take the opportunity to write to you and remind residents of how they can further secure their vehicles.
Methods can range in price from free- to expensive:
Free- Parking a less desirable car behind a higher value car to make it harder to remove a car from a location Keep car keys out of sight of windows, letterboxes and doors- this prevents them being hooked out via letterboxes, or easily grabbed having smashed a window. Using target hardening methods you already own ( steering wheel locks / wheel clamps etc). Removing valuables / documents from your vehicle. Asking a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your home whilst you're away. Not leaving cars alone whilst defrosting ( more relevant in winter) Register your valuable on immobilise: The National Property Register, for Phones, Gadgets, Bicycles & More... (immobilise.com)
Lower costs methods- Making use of a Faraday Bag / box- you place your keys into the box and it should stop signals being used to open your vehicle outside. Purchasing a steering wheel lock / clamp Window alarms Garden Gate locks Security lighting Use of trellis above fences and gates ( adhering to local planning), defensive planting. Security lighting
Higher cost methods- Purchasing, installing and using a tracker system Upgrading from single glazing to double glazing House alarms Home CCTV systems Installing bollards / gates on your driveway
The above list is not exhaustive, if you are concerned or would like further advice, please reply and let me know.
Many thanks
PC Annette Barnett
