Warning about Unattended Funeral Cars Revisited
A few months ago, we posted a blog about how thugs and thieves are targeting funeral cars while they are parked in cemeteries. Since the owners are focusing on the service or spending time with the memory of their loved one, thieves find unattended funeral cars to be great targets. Here are some things you can do to make your unattended car less of a target and a waste of time for would-be robbers.
Keep your doors locked. If your doors are locked, the thieves typically need to break your window to get in and make a quick getaway. In a quiet cemetery, however, this would create too much noise. As a result, it is too risky for thieves to do it and they will likely move to the next car.
Leave your valuables at home or hidden. Thieves generally will not break into your vehicle if there is nothing valuable inside. After all, what’s the benefit for them? Hide your valuable items under the seat or in the trunk if you cannot leave them at home.
Install a car alarm. Noise is the enemy for car thieves. The more noise your car will make, the less of a target it will become.
Use these tips when parking your funeral cars on a cemetery road and thieves will be more likely to walk past your car when they are looking for a quick payday.
