Mistake #6: Leaving Your Car Parked Outside of Your House Unmoved For A Long Time:

This mistake hits very close to home for me.

I used to rent a house down in the Lake Chapala area. I was also given a garage to use. For the most part, I made use of the garage. But, I won’t lie, it was a big hassle to get my car in it. So, one week I was feeling lazy and I didn’t put my car in the garage. Not only that, but since I lived close to work, and didn’t have to drive, I didn’t move my car for a few days straight. 

Well, of course, I got broken into.

Thieves are always on the lookout for cars that go unmoved for several days. After all, that suggests that nobody is coming and going from the car. And it is a much safer target.
