What it means for you

It's a good time to be in Camberley. It's also the cheapest time to protect your car: before there's a reason to.

How to protect your car

1. Block the key signal. Keep your keys in a signal-blocking pouch or tin at night, away from the front door. It costs a few pounds and stops relay theft, as long as you use it every night.

2. Make the car hard to drive. A steering lock is cheap and visible. Some cars can also have a PIN-code immobiliser fitted.

3. Stop the car leaving. A telescopic bollard locked in front of the car means it can't be driven off the drive, however it was unlocked. Stainless posts are popular in Camberley where looks matter. They stay bright without painting.
