Very few originals need to live in the glovebox. In many cases it is usually wiser to keep important ownership documents safely at home.
keep the V5C in the car
The log book is an important keeper document and is better stored securely away from the vehicle.
Useful information can be digital
Breakdown numbers, insurer contact details and policy numbers can be stored securely on your phone, with a backup elsewhere.
Keep practical items instead
The handbook, locking-wheel key and any physical parking permit or equipment that belongs with the car are more useful inside it.
Knowing your insurer's claims number before an incident is more useful than carrying a pile of paperwork you never read.
