Good advice! But also very important, when you you are going off on holiday or away even for a weekend, do not load up the car at a time when the whole world can see you, for example, just before school time and home time when families are walking past. We usually sneek it out late in the evening with everything out of site in the boot. (Except passports etc) In the morning you just get in and drive off.
