Consider other belongings in the car
In a period of high stress, it’s easy to forget things, but here’s a reminder to consider what might have been in your car at the time it was stolen. Personal belongings like your wallet, phone, or electronics should be accounted for. For example, if your wallet is in the car, make sure to contact your bank and cancel all your debit and credit cards to ensure they can’t be used.
Look out online
Look out on websites like Gumtree or Facebook marketplace within your location for people selling the make and model of your car. If you recognise a car that matches yours online and it was listed close to the date of theft, report it to the police.
Alternatively, you can do a PPSR search that lets you enter your VIN number to see whether your car has been in a recent accident or shown up at any mechanics.
