Vehicle Security Advice from Lloydminster RCMP
To reduce the risk of vehicle theft or damage, especially for Hyundai owners in Lloydminster, police recommend the following security steps:
- Use a visible steering wheel or steering column lock device (for example, products similar to “The Club”).
- Ensure your vehicle is locked every time you leave it, even for brief stops.
- Never leave keys, fobs, or other access devices inside the vehicle.
- Avoid leaving valuables in plain view; secure items in the glove box or trunk if they must remain in the vehicle.
- Consider installing front and rear dash cameras to record activity around your vehicle.
- If possible, install security cameras on your property in the area where your vehicle is parked.
- Look into aftermarket immobilizers or GPS tracking devices to make your vehicle harder to steal and easier to locate.
- Park in well-lit, visible areas whenever you can.
- Report any suspicious people or unusual activity near parked vehicles to police immediately.
