Are the holiday equipment you have to the roof and piled into your car, or because of lack of space even on the roof? Especially if you go camping, it means go on vacation half a move. But how do you keep your belongings safe away from the base?
Rarely is there so much money to stuff in your car when on vacation. In the case of a family soon to be four phones, one or more tablets, maybe a laptop, jewellery, cash, expensive camping gear, bike or surf gear, and so on. And because the luggage compartment of your car, but also limited, your luggage is often largely in sight.
Theft of your stuff is for several reasons annoying. Not only do you have your holiday to continue without a part of your luggage, it also touches your car is often damaged (attempted) burglary. Disastrous for the value of your car and it also brings a pleasant continuation of your holiday in danger. A non-English speaking French garage mechanic trying to convince you that you really almost a new window or portiersloten need, is not exactly a relaxing holiday activities.
All of your stuff neatly under the parcel shelf hide them away is not an option, or you should plan to have your car to sell and there is something huge for back to buy. However, you can with some simple tips with peace of mind on a trip.
Well prepared on a trip?
You go at night or early in the morning on a trip and you have the car the day before wrapped up already? Make sure that you have the really valuable stuff just from the car. The pole lock on the trailer or caravan to sit in, you won’t be the first one in the morning wants to leave and, suddenly, nothing more, behind the car looks hang.
Just relax along the highway?
Do not let the car just unattended and close to him anyway. Even if you just have a picnic are a meter or 10 away, unfortunately there are enough unsavory types that just feel or you have the car or have closed. Do you eat in a service station, make sure that your precious belongings as much as possible, bring in one bag (do not touch that doesn’t lose!) or else as much as possible out of sight, and that bicycles, trailers, caravans and dakboxen closed with a lock. Turn off the car, if possible, in sight and turn him anyway, not somewhere afterwards in the parking lot, but on a pressure piece.
Where do you keep your stuff at your destination?
Once at the destination it may be a dilemma where your valuable stuff is the best. In a hotel or apartment you can stuff often lost in a safety deposit box and you can, in any case, the room or the house shut down, but on a camping is a whole different story. Unfortunately, there are also tents still get robbed, so your precious belongings are in that case still the safest place in your car. Just make sure that the valuables are so well camouflaged and impossible from the outside to spot. Also bear in mind chargers, bags, and other accessories on the presence of expensive stuff point.
You have all that stuff really necessary?
A bit silly, but the best tip is to have expensive stuff on vacation, not get out of the car to steal, which is überhaubt not to take them. Did you get that laptop or tablet really necessary, or can you manage it with your phone, an e-reader or some analog books a pack of playing cards and man-worse-you-not?
