H.E.A.T. - Help Eliminate Auto Theft

Protect Yourself

  • Lock your doors when you are driving, in addition to when you park the vehicle.

  • Never get out of your car when you are struck from behind. It could be carjacking.

  • After dark, park your car in a well-lighted area, and whenever possible walk to your car with a friend.

  • Be familiar with your surroundings. If you feel threatened or need emergency assistance, dial #77 or 911 on your cellular phone.

  • Take your keys.

  • Don’t leave your car running, even for a minute.

  • Park with your wheels turned toward the curb.

  • If your vehicle is going to be unattended for a long period of time, disable it.
