"Our cars are one of our biggest financial expenses, so having car insurance with comprehensive coverage is one way to protect that investment. Never leaving your keys in the car is another."Police departments across the state continue to remind drivers to lock their vehicles, and to take their keys out of the car.According to AAA Insurance, the average claim in 2020 was almost $7,000 per vehicle.AAA Insurance Tips for protecting your car against theft:Copyright 2021 WFSB (Meredith Corporation).
