With the surge of car-breaking incidents, we would like to provide you with some preventive measures whenever you encounter such situations.
1. It is advisable to not leave your handbags, laptops, or other valuable belongings like purses, backpacks, briefcases, and cell phones on the passenger seat which can entice culprits to perform car-breaking activities even if there&rsquo;s nothing inside.
2. Install window film/tint like 3M or v-kool so your car&rsquo;s window won't be easily damaged. 
3. Always park your car in a well-lit area and with people around you.
4. Avlid shady areas and find alternative routes to your destination whenever possible. 
5. Stand by pepper spray to protect yourself from further harm.
In the end, women seem to be the targeted prey because many are not alert about what&rsquo;s going on around them. Having said that, there are women who shared the stories of their experiences while facing snatch thefts and you may view it <a href="https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/snatch-theft-victims-share-their-experiences-4204">here. </a>
