     What can you do to make sure your car isn’t stolen?
     Well, first and most obviously, lock the car when you leave it. That includes locking the boot for
luggage and closing all the windows. Even a tiny break allows a thief to insert a wire to force open the lock button. Of course, don’t leave the keys hanging in the ignition(点火器). And don’t hide a spare key
inside or outside the car - thieves know all the hiding places. If your car breaks down, lock up before you go for help. Even if you can’t start the car, a thief may be able to.
     Now since chances of losing cars are greater from dusk to mid-night, make sure you park in a
well-lighted area, preferably where there are plenty of passers-by, say, near a busy store or a restaurant.
Avoid leaving your keys with a garage or parking-lot assistant: choose the place you park yourself.
     Keep your driver’s license in your wallet or purse, not in the separate divisions of your car. You should also have a record of your car’s vital statistics both in your wallet and somewhere at home. This can help with recovery in case of stealing.
     And finally, it’s a good idea to fix some kind of safety devices. There is a range available from alarm
systems that set off a siren(警报)if an attempt is made to interfere with the car in any way, to fuel
shut-off systems and time delay ignition systems. Displaying a warning sign will also help discourage
would-be thieves. They don’t want to waste time on trying to steal a protected car.
