Vehicle Theft

Vehicle theft is the nation's no. 1 property crime, costing more than $7.6 billion each year. Second only to drug dealing, vehicle theft is the next most profitable criminal activity altogether. The fact is, we are not going to great enough lengths to protect our cars from the dangers of vehicle theft.

Many consumers mistakenly put their faith in car alarms and anti-theft devices to protect their cars or trucks. The reality is, professional car thieves are well-versed in the vulnerabilities of vehicle theft prevention. They are often able to bypass even the most sophisticated alarm systems and theft-deterrence products.
