Most of us will know somebody who has had their car broken into at some point and with so many opportunist thieves around, we may also someday become a victim of theft. Here at CoverGirl Car Insurance, we don't want anybody to experience the costly expense of having their car broken into and so we've come up with ideal solutions to limit the risk.

Lady car insurance customers are all too aware of the safety aspects of owing a car but from time to time we can all throw caution to the wind and forget to take out the CD player or close an open window after a long drive in the sweltering heat of the summer.

If something in your car catches the attention of a thief you could find yourself having to contact your woman car insurance policy holders to make a claim. This claim could have an adverse affect on your motor insurance quotes in the future and may force you to pay a higher premium. If you choose not to claim on your motor insurance the price of simply the replacing the stolen items can also add up to a costly expense.

How to protect yourself from the cost of criminals
It may sound a little condescending to warn you about some of the minute things to protect yourself against theft, but from time to time everybody needs a little reminding. Let's face it - none of us would want to make a claim on our lady car insurance. To avoid having your personal items taken from your vehicle follow these simple instructions:

Remove the ignition key when getting out, even if you are just paying for petrol

Park in a garage if possible, if not find a well-lit area

Take your belongings with you

Remove your stereo and SATNAV

Close your windows and sunroof

Lock all doors, including the boot

To make your vehicle even more secure you can carry out the following safety measures:

Fit your car with an alarm - this will have to be installed professionally

Install an electronic immobiliser - this will have to be installed by an accredited Vehicle Security Installation Board.

Buy a mechanical immobiliser - steering locks are easily available and don't come with a hefty price tag; you can also fit them yourself.

Property mark all of your belongings in the vehicle with your house number and postcode

If you're worried about having your car stolen, you may also wish to have your car registration etched into glass surfaces.
