Police Scotland: Vehicle Security

Have you ever considered improving the security of your vehicle? 🚗

Sometimes simply locking it is not enough.

The list below provides a range of options which will make stealing your vehicle more difficult, especially if several are combined together!

Check vehicle doors are locked before walking away.

• Do not store keys near windows or doors.

• Keep your key device in a ‘Faraday pouch’ which prevents it receiving or transmitting radio signals.

• If you buy a second-hand keyless car, get the key reprogrammed.

• Make sure the key and any spares are stored securely and safely.

• Consider having an On-Board Diagnostic port (OBD) lock professionally fitted/ask at a main dealership.

• Use a steering wheel lock.

• Fit a pedal box, which encases the driving pedals in a high visibility secure box.

Please report any suspicious behaviour or incidents to Police on 101 or 999.
