How to Prevent Missing Cars When Parking in a Department Store

Is there anyone who thinks parking at a department store is the safest because they have a key card to scan in, scan out, or have security at all times of opening hours? Did you know that there was a car-lost incident or items inside the cars lost while parking in the parking lot of the department store? Today, we’re going to update the law on what to do if a car parked in a department store goes missing and what ways to prevent it from being stolen. Let’s start!

What to do if a car parked in a department store goes missing

Take pictures every time after parking
When parking in a department store, it is recommended to take a picture every time by clearly showing the license plate number and location of the parking area. This is proof that we actually parked in the department store even though there are key cards provided by the staff. Not only department stores, they can also be used for hotels and resorts.
Keep receipt or evidence of using department store services
This is another proof that we have entered to use the service at department stores or hotels and resorts. If there are no spending receipts, there may be other evidence such as pictures or payment slips.
Report for the daily journal
If there is a car missing inside the department store, concentrate and gather evidence of both photographs and evidence of service use inside the department store in order to record it in daily reports and prosecute a court case. The condition is that the case must be filed within 1 year after the vehicle has disappeared. If it has already been 1 year, the case will be deemed to have expired. You will win for sure as Supreme Court No. 7471/2013 has already approved it.

What ways to prevent it from being stolen

Park a car in the light: Parking is recommended in a clearly visible area or parking areas with security cameras. Avoid parking in blind or dark places where no one can see and no CCTV.
Check: Check if there’s been a lock on the steering wheel, a lock on the brakes, a lock on the door, an asset inside a car, and a key.
Additional devices: Such as locking the car’s neck, locking wheels and steering wheel, or installing a GPS system for the vehicle in order to coordinate with the authorities to detect GPS signals.

Anyone that frequently uses services at department stores, hotels, or resorts, be sure to follow the “how to prevent cars from missing” or if anyone else misses the car is advised to stay calm and try to find evidence and report it to the police station for advice on court proceedings as a next step.
