Tires and Wheels Targeted by Thieves

Tires and Wheels Targeted by Thieves.

Most car alarms protect only the car and not the wheels and tires which could be removed and stolen very quickly.

There are some steps you can take to protect your car as suggested in this article.

• Park your car in a closed garage whenever you can.
• Install a car alarm that includes sensors that attach to the wheels.
• Park in an area with a lot of traffic when out in public. Park in view of surveillance cameras whenever possible.

• Turn your wheels when parking. This makes the wheels harder to remove because they get stuck in the wheel well.
• Use wheel locks on each wheel, including your spare.
