4. Make Your Home A Tough Target - Use floodlights, motion sensors, a security system, deadbolts, etc.

5. Foil Car-jackers - Keep windows & doors locked; check mirrors and blind spot when stopped.  Stay one to one and a half car lenghts away from the car ahead of you.  Sound your horn and flash your lights if you thik you’re being approached by a car-jacker.
