Hello, I wanted to share a few things. Few tips regarding to your vehicle safety against the abusers and traffickers and etcetera... HOW?? First thing, does your vehicle have any..... Custom stickers? How about lights under your vehicle? Even fancy rims? Or a lifted vehicles? Custom license plate on front and/or back of car? Don't do that. Be aware that those stickers you put on windows reveals
the informations for trackers, for instance, family (how many kids you got) and animals as pets. You don't want that. Any stickers regarding to political on anywhere, even bumper, It's not safe doing so. Custom license plates on front end and/or rear, with customized letters, even special characteristics- even ordered customized plate frames aren’t safe neither. You know when you are in your vehicle, you have these seat covers designs, even the fancy ones- with all that various designs? Yeah, not safe neither. The rear mirror you uses to check your rear ends, that you hangs your jewelries on; Various designs of jewelries, even air fresher scents, and etcetera- isn't safe to do so. Any stickers regarding to school, that your kids attends to on your vehicle, don't do that. Do not add colored light under your vehicle. It isn't safe to have those colorful such as red, or blue, or etcetera- as the headlights, or interior ambient door panel led lights in your vehicle. That goes same thing for interior lights inside your vehicle. You know how you would get in the vehicle, and start your vehicle to go some where, do you go on same road, same route everyday? Thats not safe neither. Whenever you go out to your destination, do you park in same spot everyday? That's isn't safe to do so. Make sure you change up your parking spot everyday. Don't be a clockwork target. Vary your routes, your times, and your parking. Don't be easy to follow. Never leave your vehicle unlocked at anywhere and any time. Whenever you get into your vehicle, always locks immediately. Don't stall. Lock it immediately. Don't wait till you drive out. Lock it before then. Make sure you have your vehicle door light (one in front roof and other on the roof in backseat so when you open the vehicle door, lights comes on), on automatic at all the times. So that you could see whenever you opens your vehicle door, It'd be best suggestion to have it automatically on all the times. Because so when you approaches to your vehicle and open its door, you can see the inside of vehicle, and in the back as well. You would be aware if someone is in there. Vehicle is safe to get in if it’s empty. If you happen to see someone you are unfamiliar with, walk away and get help. When you drive somewhere in dark, don’t park in dark spot. Always park under the light spot. It is safer that way. Whenever you go to shopping, in parking lot; they have security camera. Park near that, don't park far from security camera, so they can see you. When you are collecting the mail, or have legal document or anything personal papers in your vehicle, don't leave it out in open for the world to see/read. Put it away somewhere that no one will see it nor find it. As you approaches your vehicle, don't be oblivious to the surrounding. I would suggest you to do these followings. As you approaches to your vehicle; The first thing you need to do is check the surrounding of your vehicle, check your vehicle. that includes checking under your vehicle, make sure theres nothing around and under your vehicle. As soon as you are aware it is safe to get in car, then you may do so. If you ever notices anything unusual such as the wiring is twisted abnormally, or stickers seem to be odd. Even if you notices any ribbon is tied to your vehicle, ANYTHING you notices something off regarding your vehicle; DO NOT get into your vehicle, RUN and get help! As soon as you get into your vehicle, always starts your vehicle ASAP! Once you start your vehicle, you can adjust your seat, rear mirror, etcetera. That way you can get away fast if anything happens such as someone approaching with harm intended. Safer that way rather than getting stuck. when someone caught up to you and you didn't start your vehicle. Make sure you turn on the bluetooth on your smart phone before entering your vehicle. Check for any unknown AirTag or tracking device (that been planted on your vehicle). If you do happen to see it pinging on your smart phone via bluetooth, immediately report it to police. It is so that way you can protect yourself from any stalker stalking you without you knowing it. That can tracks you, it is better off for you to have bluetooth on as you are around your vehicle. For you safety, so you can recognize it so you can report and get a help. Don't see any? Then, it is safe to get into your vehicle. The optional sharing of location, I would recommended to keep it turned off. Unless you are sharing it with your parents (or family members), or someone you trust and feel safe with. Just make sure you don't overshare it with just about anyone. Planning on going somewhere? Perhaps store, or doctor's office? Make sure you let someone you trust know where you are going and at. So that way if you were gone longer than your usual, they will know where to find you. Supposedly you are walking alone to your vehicle and you feel something is off, do not enter into your vehicle. Go to somewhere safer. Recently I shared tips about lights and security camera, about how you should park closer to security camera and light spot. I want to add that if you don’t see any security camera nor light spot, or even if there isn’t enough light to light up the area, What can you do to stay safe? drive to near entrance area, and park by the entrance door. You also can park by security office if you see one there. If none, use your judgement to discern where is most safest place to park. If you have a newer vehicle, make sure your vehicle is up to date with software. If you haven't, please go to your vehicle shop dealer and have them upgrade your vehicle software. If you happen to feel something is off such as someone is following you, or even if you suspects someone tracking you via gps tracker; just go to police station, they will scan it and have it removed. Or, go to anywhere public area, and park there. Get help and wait for help to arrive there. If you are being chased/tracked by a vehicle behind you, go to police station or busy public place and cry out for a help. Please plans a safety plans in advance. Have a great day.
