Hide your valuablesIn some cases, what's in your car can be just as valuable as the car itself. For many of us who use our cars daily, we can sometimes leave things like expensive gadgets, bags, or shoes in the car. Unfortunately, while insurance companies tend to cover any damages to your car during a break-in, they will likely not cover the value of the items stolen inside of it. While it should be a general practice not to leave expensive things unattended, even inside your own vehicle, there are times when it can't be prevented. If you do find yourself having to leave valuables in your car, you should at least make an effort to hide them skillfully. For example, instead of just leaving your bag out in the open on top of a car seat, you can store it in the trunk of your car, behind cleaning materials, or other unassuming objects. You can even tuck thin items, like laptops or tablets, under the seat, where thieves can't see them easily.For smaller items, you can also buy storage options designed specifically to conceal. Typically, these come in the form of soda cans, sunblock containers, water bottles, or other ordinary-looking, everyday items with hidden compartments.
