Prevent Vehicle Theft Texas - Lock It Down!

When you park in town,
always Lock it Down!

Lock your vehicle and take your keys. Approximately 50% of all stolen vehicles were left unlocked.

This is one simple thing you can do to protect your vehicle and its contents.

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including motor vehicle theft and burglary. Texas ranks second in the country for the most motor vehicle theft, and every year, more than 65,000 cars and trucks are stolen and nearly 200,000 are burglarized.

That’s a mess of frustrated motorists and a lot of messy insurance claims.

If you must leave valuables in the car—whether a laptop, or other personal belongings—hide them or lock them away.

Place smaller items in the glove box, armrest/console or under seats.

Place larger items in the trunk, and if you have a hatchback, make sure they are covered.

Hide or cover your items from view.

A firearm should never be left in a vehicle.
