    If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think too much about protecting your car’s cargo. You might just toss whatever you need to bring with you into the backseat or trunk and hit the road. But doing this can be a big mistake, especially if you’re traveling in an area that’s known for crime or if you’re driving a long distance. There are plenty of ways to protect your car’s cargo, and some are even easy and inexpensive to do. Here are six of our best tips.

    1. Using A Cover

    One of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your car’s cargo is to use a cover. A cover will shield your belongings from view, making it much less likely that someone will try to break into your car to steal them. You can find covers specifically designed for Trunks and backseats at most auto parts stores. For some cars, hard folding tonneau covers are also available. These provide even more security by making it difficult for would-be thieves to access your trunk or backseat. 

    If you’re not sure what kind of cover is right for your car, ask a salesperson at the store. Additionally, a cover can be useful when you’re carrying something large or awkwardly shaped in your trunk, as it will keep it from moving around and possibly damaging your car.

    2. Using A Lock

    Another way to protect your car’s cargo is to use a lock. This can be especially helpful if you’re carrying valuables with you or if you’re leaving your car unattended for some time. There are a few different types of locks that can be used for this purpose. One is a basic cable lock, which can be threaded through the handles of your trunk or backseat to keep them from being opened. These are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, but they can be cut relatively easily with bolt cutters. 

    Another option is a locking bar, which fits across the inside of your car’s trunk or door and prevents it from being opened. These are more expensive than cable locks, but they’re also much more difficult to defeat.

    3. Using A Security System

    If you want to protect your car’s cargo, you can install a security system. These systems usually include sensors that will sound an alarm if someone tries to break into your car. Some even have GPS tracking devices that can help you locate your car if it’s stolen. Of course, security systems can be quite expensive, so they might not be an option for everyone. 

    But if you can afford them, they’re worth considering. Or, if you’re serious about protecting your car’s cargo, you can always hire a professional security company to do it for you.

    4. Parking In A Well-lit Area

    One of the best ways to deter would-be thieves from breaking into your car is to park in a well-lit area. If possible, try to find a spot that’s close to a light source, such as a street lamp or parking garage light. This will make it much more difficult for someone to break into your car without being seen. Additionally, it’s a good idea to park in a busy area where there are lots of people around. This will make it less likely that someone will try to break into your car, as they’ll be more likely to get caught.

    5. Hiding Your Valuables

    If you’re carrying valuables with you, it’s important to hide them from view. This will make it much less likely that someone will try to break into your car to steal them. There are a few different ways to do this. One is to use a cover or tarp to conceal your belongings. Another is to put them in the trunk of your car, if possible. Or, if you’re leaving your car unattended for some time, you can hide your valuables in a safe place, such as a locked glove compartment or under the seat.

    6. Being Smart About Where You Park

    Finally, it’s important to be smart about where you park your car. If possible, try to find a spot that’s well-lit and close to a busy area. Additionally, it’s a good idea to avoid parking in isolated areas, as this can make your car an easy target for thieves. If you’re going to be gone for a long period, it’s also a good idea to park in a garage or other secure location. By following these tips, you can help ensure that your car’s cargo is safe from theft.

    As you can see, there are several different ways to protect your car’s cargo from theft. By taking some simple precautions, you can help ensure that your belongings are safe and sound. So the next time you’re packing up your car for a road trip, be sure to keep these tips in mind.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
