If you hear a suspicious noise while driving
If, despite everything, a cracking or clicking sound is heard when starting:
Do not go out onto the road. Park in a safe place (parking lot, gas station, well-lit area).
Lock the doors before getting out.
Turn off the engine and keep your keys with you.
If the situation seems strange, contact the police or a loved one for help.
Do not take any unnecessary risks: it is better to waste a minute than risk an attack.
Some tips to reduce risks
Always activate the locked lock and alarm, even for a short stop.
Never leave valuables visible in the car.
Choose lit parking lots and frequent.
If you have to get out of the vehicle with the engine running, bring someone with you.
What to do in case of attempted theft?
If someone approaches your car to take advantage of a moment of inattention:
Don’t confront the person.
Keep your distance and contact law enforcement immediately.
Note, if possible, useful details (clothing, direction of escape, license plate).
remember: your safety comes first. A car can be replaced, but not a life.
