What should you remove from your car before leaving it unattended?
- A The car dealer’s details
- B The owner’s manual
- C The service record
- D The vehicle registration document
Why this is the answer
Never leave the vehicle registration document inside your car. This document would help a thief to dispose of your car more easily.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- The car dealer’s details — Of no use to a thief.
- B
- The owner’s manual — Worth keeping in the car. A thief has no use for it.
- C
- The service record — Useful to you when selling, but it does not help anybody steal the car.
