The best advice to prevent theft of any vehicle, including the ones from New York Hyundai, are to park it in your secure garage at night. Many of us store tons of other items in our garages besides our car, but when you purchased your home you likely didn't plan on using the garage to store old junk (like you are doing now). So, clean it out and start protecting the second most valuable asset you will likely purchase in your lifetime.
Another simple thing you can do is to make sure there are no valuable items visible in your vehicle. There is no reason to taunt thieves passing by your car. Use the trunk, glove compartment, or the under the seat bins that many cars come with or you can purchase after-market. Many vehicles these days come with some kind of anti-theft system already installed. If your car is older or doesn't come with one, consider installing an alarm system.
In case your vehicle does get stolen, it would have been in your best interest to make sure that your VIN (vehicle identification number) is written on the inside of your hood, trunk, and car battery. These items are some of the first to be scrapped by thieves trying to make some extra money, but if the VIN is written on them, it might act as a deterrent so that your car will be in one piece when you get it back. Lastly, make sure you park in a well-lit area and lock your doors each and every time you leave your vehicle unattended.
