Make Your Car Tough To Steal
A vehicle is stolen every 25 seconds in the United States. Auto theft is big business! If auto theft were legalized and incorporated, it would rank in the top 250 among Fortune 500 companies.
Your vehicle is one of the largest investments you make. New vehicles are not the only target for car thieves. Older model vehicles are also very desirable.
Thieves look for cars that can be resold quickly or stripped for parts. In most cases, a vehicle’s parts are worth two to three times the value of the vehicle.
No vehicle or anti-theft device is 100% theft-proof, and discouraging thieves is not an easy task. A thief’s greatest enemy is time.
The more difficult your car is to steal, the longer it takes to be stolen. And the more time a thief has to spend stealing your car, the greater the chance of detection. By making your car a tougher target, the thief will probably move on to a car that is easier to steal.
By installing anti-theft devices on your vehicle, you may qualify for a discount on your comprehensive insurance rates. To find out more about anti-theft device discounts, contact your automobile insurance company or agent. Read more
