    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.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
