1. If a garage is available, ensure that your vehicle is secured inside it when possible. If you have two vehicles, park the lowest-value one outside and close to the garage door to prevent them being forced.

2. If present, ensure any driveway gates are closed and locked.

3. Ensure your vehicle is always locked and consider using additional security devices such as steering wheel locks, trackers and the like.

4. No keys should be stored in locations which are visible through doors, windows etc, or within easy reach of letterboxes or other openings.

5. When you are away, or at night, consider taking your keys to bed with you, but ensure all the residents know where they are in case of an emergency.

6. Consider storing your keys (depending on their functionality) in a ‘Faraday’ type pouch or box.
