“To avoid car break-ins, don’t leave valuables in your car. At the very least, make sure nothing of value is visible to passersby.
Always lock your car and roll up the windows, as well—no matter where the vehicle is parked or how long you plan to be away. As an additional failsafe, you may want to consider installing a
high-quality anti-theft system
.We hope it never happens—but should you accidentally leave items in your car and they’re stolen, your homeowners or
renters insurance
may help cover your losses. Damage to your vehicle, however, falls under comprehensive coverage
, so long as you’ve added this to your car insurance policy.If you’re worried about the car itself being stolen, this too is covered by comprehensive insurance. Check your policy to make sure you have it, and add it if you don’t. The
