Losing your car keys is a disaster, and it will cost you a lot of money to have an auto locksmith come out and help you.  That is why it is a wise idea to make a copy of your car keys as soon as you can, and make it from the original key too, to ensure that it will work.

Do not forget to test the key as soon as you get it too, otherwise you might just be stuck with a faulty key.  Keep this key in a safe place outside your car, like in your home on a specific place, so that you never have to look for it.

Having these handy little devices on your steering wheel, hand brake and gears, is a big deterrent for car thieves.  These devices prevent you from using the steering wheel to steer, from lowering the hand brake to drive away, and to change the gears.

It cannot be guaranteed that every thief will be deterred, but most of them will see the security measures you have taken and be discouraged.  If your car is parked in an isolated parking, they might still try, because there aren’t a lot of people to catch them, and they have more time to try and steal your car, and valuables.
