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).

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.
