Each year, more than a million cars are stolen, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Follow these tips to protect your car:

Never leave keys in an unattended car.

Don't link your keys to your identification, whether it be from a tag on your key chain or attaching them to your wallet.

If your car is parked by an attendant, only give him your ignition key.

Roll up all windows when you are parking your vehicle.

If your car does not have an anti-theft device, install an interior hood or fuel switch, which prevents fuel from reaching the carburetor.

If you have valuables or packages in the car, hide and lock them in the trunk.
