It may seem like an unusual suggestion, but before you hit the road in a new (used) vehicle, make sure it isn’t stolen. Stolen vehicles are often sold to unsuspecting consumers. Thankfully, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles offers a free Motor Vehicle Information Check tool where you can check the VIN # on a vehicle before purchase: https://services.flhsmv.gov/MVCheckWeb/.
You can also take action to reduce the likelihood of your vehicle being stolen by:
🔑 Ensuring the vehicle is always locked and the keys are removed
đź’ˇ Park or store it in a secure, well-lit location
🚨 Install/ utilize alarms or immobilizing devices & vehicle tracking systems
⏰ Have a nightly routine of checking to ensure your vehicle is locked, valuables are removed, and keys are stored safely away from the car
