Drivers urged not to lose out

Article Category: Debt Management Help and Advice

Drivers have been warned that they could find themselves out of pocket if they fail to take proper care of their possessions.

As the warmer weather and the Easter bank holiday approaches many Brits will be taking trips out in their cars.

However, with thieves on the prowl they need to be on their guard, police have warned.

"It is an unfortunate fact that cases of cars being broken into traditionally increase as more people get out and about to take advantage of the better weather," said Lara Curtayne, vehicle crime reduction officer with Bedfordshire Police.

"Police will be doing all they can to apprehend offenders but the public can help by taking simple security steps.

"These are particularly important when parking at beauty spots, since thieves know you are likely to be away from the vehicle for some time."

With many people already facing debt problems as the economy slows and credit crunch takes hold, having their possessions stolen would be a particularly damaging blow.

Police urge drivers to lock their doors, close their windows, make use of any security devices and park in a well-lit area.
