If you have managed to have a great walk with no incidents, even dodge the worst of the weather, there is one thing that is sure to spoil the day - to get back and find you are a victim of a car crime.
Take as much care with your car before you set off as you put in to preparing your walk.
- Park in such a place that the car is not left on it's own or causing an obstruction to others.
- Never leave valuables on show in the car, particulary mobile phones or 'Sat Nav' systems - even the cradles tell someone you have one!
- Ensure you lock your car before setting out and use whatever car security you have is used.
Ensure your car is not an obstruction and is secure.
