Unfortunately in this day and age it seems that almost daily we hear about vehicles being broken into and vandalized or even being stolen. Even though certain vehicles are more susceptible to being targeted by these criminals we all need to be aware of the threat. 

We assume the risk of our vehicle being vandalized or stolen every time we park it. According to statistics over one million vehicles are stolen annually which is one vehicle every 25 seconds. Edit this text

Do you think that these thieves are targeting high end exotic sportscars like those depicted in the film, “Gone in 60 Seconds”? Think again. Out of the top ten most stolen cars different models of the ToyotaCamry and the Honda Accord accounted for the first eight and Chevy and Ford trucks took the last two. 

What happens is this, the auto theft ring gets an order for parts for a particular vehicle or vehicles which they dispatch out to their network of car thieves who in many cases know exactly where to go to find a car like the one being ordered. Sometimes you will see theft rings operate in particular areas for a length of time until it becomes to hot or risky for them and then they move their operation elsewhere. 

Using the bars that go on your steering wheel like those advertised on TV is pretty much a waste of time and money. It takes a good thief less than 30 seconds to cut the bar off and hotwire the car.
