🚗 Vehicle parked in a visible location, or off the street if possible.
🚙 Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
🚗 Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
🚙 Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.
🚗 Number plates secured with anti-theft screws (available at car accessory stores).

🚗 Car ownership information stored at home, not in the vehicle.
🚙 Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
🚗 If the vehicle is keyless, ‘keys’ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.
🚙 Get to know neighbours & their vehicles so you’ll know if you see something that doesn’t seem right.

Always report suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.

If it's already happened, phone 105 or report at 105.police.govt.nz.
If it's happening now, call 111.
