With the weather being so cold at the moment, please remember not to leave your cars or motorcycles unattended with the engines running.
At this time of year it can be tempting to leave the car on the drive or on the street with the engine running to defrost the windscreen or melt the snow. This is an ideal chance for an opportunist thief to steal the vehicle or property.
The majority of insurers are unlikely to cover claims for theft or damage to your vehicle in these circumstances.
