Avoid Getting Your Car Stolen

Isn't it crazy that every year about 1 million cars in the U.S. are stolen. Facts say that generally the cars being stolen are 10 years or older. There are some devices that are great to have in your car to prevent it from being stolen, along with simple things like always locking your car.

  • A great thing to have is the GPS Tracking System which can allow you to know exactly where your car is all the time. This way if your car gets broken into, you can track down the car and usually recover it.
  • There is the Ultrasonic Interior Monitoring System, fancy for something that detects movement inside the car after it has been locked.
  • Something pretty high tech would be the Secure ID Device that uses biometric fingerprint and only registered fingerprints are able to start the car.
  • Then there is the Radio-Frequency Transmitter System. This is a small Radio-Frequency transceiver hidden in the vehicle, that automatically activates when the car is reported stolen to the police. The system causes silent radio signals to be sent out and the police are able to follow the signal to track and recover the vehicle.
  • The coolest one there is, is the GSM Car Alarm! Using a SIM card the owner is notified on a certain phone if the car is broken into. Then the owner can actually communicate with the thief through a speaker and tell them that they are able to cut the fuel supply of the car. They can completely stop the car by doing this!
  • You can do simple things like being aware of where you're leaving your car, and for how long. You don't want to leave your car in a bad area of a city over night, or you are leaving your car at high risk!
The best way to make sure your car isn't going to be stolen, is to have a car that is newer than 10 years old. Most newer cars have better technology to stop thieves from starting your car or even just breaking into it.
