While it is important to practice safe driving and parking habits no matter where you live or where you travel, knowing the car theft hot spots can help you take extra precautions. Never leave your car or keys unattended, and always lock your doors, even when the car is in motion. Never exit your vehicle if you find money on your windshield, simply drive away and remove it in a safe location.
