Regardless of whether the vehicle is equipped with anti-theft devices, warning signs must be posted, such as "This car is equipped with anti-theft alarms, please do not do this", etc. This method sometimes also affects whether thieves start to steal cars. In addition, the valuables placed in the car should be placed in a hidden place in the car to prevent the thief from taking the risk.
