Buying Peace of Mind - Car Thief Stoppers

Buying Peace of Mind

Many people feel powerless in stopping thieves from taking their car. Many think that thieves are so sophisticated that they can outsmart the all anti-theft devices on the market. This misplaced thinking is a tremendous aid to car thieves. The best protection is that of a performance proven Layer 3 - Electronic Immobilizing Device for the best protection.

Despite the many crime prevention tips that have been passed to our communities on how to stop vehicle theft, a gulf exists between what the average person knows about crime prevention and what they practice. While mechanical devices and systems such as "The Club", "The Unbreakable Autolock", "The Alpha Wheel Lock", "The Pitbull","The Gorilla Lock", "Viper", and "LoJack" have become common words in our language, many citizens still assume the belief that these devices thwart the professional car thieves, which simply isn’t true.

The majority of thefts are committed by "opportunists" stealing vehicles that are easily taken. Finally, many vehicles that are stolen were taken with keys in the ignition. While many people feel that their cars are safe in front of their homes, a 24-hour convenience store but not at the local mall, crime analysis shows that many vehicles stolen area are taken in front of the victim’s home, and others are stolen at malls, shopping areas, commuter parking lots, and others.Crime prevention begins at home with keeping your car safe. Never leave a car running while unattended as any thief can steal a car with keys in the ignition.

It has been prove that vehicles equipped with immobilizer systems reduce the frequency, and cost, of auto theft.

NICB recommends "Layered Protection" to prevent auto-theft. The layers that the NICB recommends are (1) Common Sense; (2) A Warning Device (3) An Immobilizing Device; and (4) A Tracking or Recovery Device.

First, there is "Common Sense": simple actions such as removing your keys from the vehicle, closing all windows, and locking all doors.

Second, the "Warning Device" can be either visible or audible. Some examples include alarms, steering wheel locks, brake locks, decals, window etching, and ID markers in or on the vehicle. "ID numbers and etching are used to assist law enforcement officers in the recovery of stolen vehicles."

Third, the Immobilizing Devices, the NICB states that these devices are "designed to prevent thieves from bypassing your ignition and hot-wiring your vehicle." Last, there are "Tracking and Vehicle Recovery Devices" which emits a signal that can be tracked after you have reported your vehicle stolen... "After the Fact!"

"I strongly suggest that you research your alternatives carefully when looking for ways to protect your automobile from auto theft. Layers 1 and 2 may deter joy riders, but will not protect it from professional who are really determined to steal your vehicle."

"Look for a well-designed layer 3 - device such as the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device. A good layer three device will foil amateurs and professional thieves and should eliminate the need for layer four."

Of ALL automotive security systems and anti-theft devices, the Ravelco has set the standard and ensured the highest level of quality, durability, reliability, a Zero-Failure Rate, and best of all- a 100% success rate in preventing vehicle theft for over 30 years. Moreover, the Ravelco is compatible with other vehicle security systems.

In addition to these precautionary measures, I also support the use of a Layer 3 - Electronically Immobilizing Device because they are a true impediment for thieves, and provide a superior level of security from auto theft.

I support the anti-theft device standard developed by the Vehicle Information Centre of Canada (VICC) and hope to spearhead the mandate of similar standards with US automobile insurers in the near future.

Insurance companies tend to offer a lower rate on the comprehensive port of the premium for cars equipped with anti-theft devices.

"The best prevention against auto theft is making your vehicle more difficult to steal in the first place. This is why immobilizers are the best and most cost effective."

Almost all security systems and anti-theft devices are ineffective against professional thieves. Everyone knows audible car alarms can be bothersome and annoying, but did you know that no study has ever demonstrated that car alarms reduce auto theft?

In fact, a 1997 study by the nonprofit Highway Loss Data Institute that surveyed 73 million insurance claims found that cars with alarms show no overall reduction in theft losses compared to cars without alarms. Most people don't know this, and they continue to sink their money into noisy car alarms that simply will not prevent their car from being stolen.

Moreover, the primary reason people buy auto security systems is to keep their vehicles from being stolen.

But with other security systems and anti-theft devices the most you can expect is to maybe stop amateur car thieves. Nothing will stop a determined professional car thieves from bypasses your security system and hot-wiring your car except a device that has been consistently proven over and over to work... and that device is Ravelco.

Are you tired of throwing away your money on expensive car alarms, vehicle recovery & tracking devices, mechanical devices and security systems that don't work? Thieves can take your vehicle with or without them. Automotive security companies are selling you the illusion of security coupled with fancy bells and whistles but what you are really buying is a false-sense of security.

As long as consumers continue to purchase ineffective security systems and anti-theft, distributors will continue to sell them knowing the customer will be back to buy another one after the first one didn't work.

ABC's 20/20 television show 'Myths, Lies, and Nasty Behaviors’ had the following to say regarding effective alternatives to noisy car alarms - "And how about car alarms? They make so much noise and almost no including your Neighbors do not call the police when the alarms are set off. They just ignore them. Drivers could do themselves and their neighbors a favor if they bought inexpensive anti-theft devices..."

There is only one system that stops a car from being hot-wired and stolen.

That ONE is Ravelco.
