Check your car is locked!

My car beeps when I lock it, plus it has an alarm. I think I'm good :)

Best to listen for the sound rather than the indicators, the indicators will flash on ours even if it isn't locked ;)

Yeh, also don't leave your satnav in the car while you are not in the car as that does attract theives aswell. Problem is, if it at home then they can enter your home and steal the keys (happened twice to my dads two cars).

I don't have a car anyway so it doesn't effect me plus when I take my laptop in my dads car, I lose internet connection anyway.

To be honest it's pretty commonplace among car owners to hide valuables - when i park somewhere that isn't at school or in my driveway I put my ipod that lives permenantly in the car into the door bin out of sight. Plus don't leave car keys near the front door, crooks get long sticks with a hook on the end and use that to grab the keys through the letterbox.
