SAFETY TIPS WHEN USING PARKADES
There are two types of parkades:
-Parkades open to the public with uncontrolled pedestrian access.
-Parkades with controlled access by use of electronic swipe cards, etc. (commonly used in apartment blocks and condominiums)
When entering or exiting an apartment or condominium parkade always wait for the door to close. Watch for anyone sneaking in behind you and call police if necessary.
Regardless of where you park your vehicle, do not leave anything in your vehicle that could tempt a thief.
Always lock your vehicle.
Do not leave your electronic swipe card in your vehicle. A thief may steal it and later use it to break in while you are away.
Never leave a spare key in your vehicle.
Consider using a "club" to secure the steering wheel if you have an older vehicle without adequate anti-theft features.
Consider your personal safety. Plan ahead and know what to do if something happens. The best defense against an attack is awareness and action. If faced with an uncomfortable or dangerous situation, leave the parkade and seek assistance.
