Car Being Scratched

Hi,

I have received a email from a fellow friend, Jon Yen from our neighborhood told us that on 19 October 2009, when he was parking car at Block 10 level 3 multi-storey carpark, he came across some cars are sprayed with paint and scratched. After seeing what had happened, he took photos of the cars and shared it with us.

He commented "Hope everyone can be on the lookout for each other and inform suspicious characters in our neighbourhoods. "

Here are some tips from Policeman Pete on safety on parking cars: " when you park your car, do remember to remove the ignition key, wind up all the windows and lock all the doors even if you leave your car for a short period a brief moment is all it takes for a theft to drive off your car.

park in a well-lit location whenever you can. dark and secluded places are ideal for thieves to commit the crime

do not leave valuables such as your briefcase, handbag, laptop or handphone in your vehicle. also remove the cash card from your in vehicle unit when you leave your vehicle . a thief may smash the window or windscreen to get it.

install and alarm system which immobilises your vehicle once it is activated . this will prevent the thief from driing your vehicle away.

use additional locks . additional locks such as a steering wheel lock , clutch and brake lock, disc lock or gear lock not only provides added secuirity also deter thieves."

Hope that these advices will help us in preventing crimes.

Thank you for reading.

Regards,

Boon.
