Tips for Preventing Theft Lock It Up: doors and windows of your home (occupied or not!) and your vehicles. Conceal Valuables: in vehicles, put them in the trunk or under the seat or cover them up. Park in the Garage: and remove all valuables, including phones, wallets, and other electronics. Park Near Light: If you cannot park in the garage, park near a porch/garage light or street lamp. And take your garage door opener inside with you ! Leave House Lights On: both inside and out and when occupied and not occupied – especially near doors and windows.
