3.4 Personal and vehicle security

For your safety and the security of your vehicle:

• Take extra care if your vehicle breaks down on the motorway or a highly populated area.
• Do not leave mobile phones, satellite navigation devices or computer equipment in the
vehicle, even if out of sight. If you must leave valuables in your vehicle, make sure they
are out of sight and that the vehicle is properly locked.
• Never leave your vehicle with the engine running or the keys in the ignition.
• Be careful where you leave your keys and never leave spare keys in the vehicle.
• When parking at night, keep to well lit areas and use car parks with CCTV surveillance
or regular security patrols.
• Lock all the doors when on the move.
• Be suspicious of anyone who flags you down, apparently in need of help. Muggers and
car thieves may use this approach.
• Check that no parts or equipment are on display within the cab area as these present a
safety hazard to you in the event of an incident, plus may contain information on the
label including your name.
• Check that no customer data is left on display or is visible from outside the vehicle as
this would represent a breach of GDPR under our FCA rules.

3.5 Vehicle theft

• Call the police and report the theft immediately.

• A replacement vehicle will be delivered to you if required.
• If your original vehicle is recovered the police will inform you. You must ring ALD/Lombard
