Lock your vehicle and take the keys with you.
Never leave your vehicle running, even if you'll only be gone for a minute.
Never hide a second set of keys in your vehicle.
Park in well-lighted areas.
Never leave valuables in plain sight.
Consider installing an anti-theft device such as an alarm, an immobilizing device (kill switch), or a tracing device (i.e. LoJack).
