The best way to protect your belongings is to lock your car whenever you leave it.

Police say other things you can do include:

* Removing everything from the car; don’t even leave a jacket where it can be seen.

* Closing the sunroof along with the windows when you leave.

* Not storing things in the boot; take them with you.

* Storing car ownership information in your home, not your car.

* Having a routine to ensure you always take the keys out of the ignition.

* Taking removable stereos and sat nav equipment with you.
