Reducing the Risk - Car Thief Stoppers

Reducing the Risk

Has you vehicle ever been stolen? Or broken into and the radio or other contents taken? At best, it's very inconvenient. At worse, it's distressing!But many drivers don't take the most basic security precautions aimed at making their vehicle less inviting and stopping auto theft by professional thieves.

Here I offer some key advice to help you stop the thieves from striking in the first place. If you don't want your car targeted and stolen, there are three simple things you should do:

The best thing that you can do is use common sense in protecting your vehicle.
Make your vehicle less inviting by reducing the 'Bling - Bling' to a bare mininum.

Make your vehicle harder to steal and hence a less likely target.

The Bottom Line

Everyone at one time or another, more often than not has heard the "chirp-chirp" sound of remote alarm systems. The NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau) stated in a recent report that the car thieves are using scanner boxes to render these alarms useless. These scanner boxes or ‘Code Grabbers’ disable the alarm and even unlock the doors making it simple for a thief to steal your vehicle. When these alarms are scanned, the lights of the vehicle will flash letting a thief know the car is unlocked, the alarm is off, and the vehicle is ready to be stolen. Next the professional uses a Bypass Kit, a Master Key, stolen factory diagnostic software and scan tools as well as other high tech or conventional devices to quickly and quietly steal your vehicle.

The only real protection that appears to be working is by stopping the vehicle theft itself with some sort of ignition, fuel and starter cut off device. The better of these devices usually mount on the dash, have all its connections made in the engine compartment and have its wires camouflaged.

Thieves will not take the time to open the hood of a vehicle and start searching for circuits. These anti-theft devices are unlike alarm systems, which are connected only under the dash, and are very easy for thieves to disarm. As a auto theft and security expert I have seen many vehicles stolen in my years. Moreover, many insurance and forensic investigators contact me to assist them with cases of vehicle loss involving other devices that didn’t work. In short, I have seen what works and what doesn't and I have a passion for making auto theft a thing of the past. Truthfully, a professional thief can steal any car without knowing anything about its wiring, except for a Ravelco equipped vehicle. The Proof is in the Plug.

Only your electronically coded plug plus your ignition key will allow your vehicle to start.
