About Auto Theft
 |
A professional car thief can open a locked car, remove what they want and
get away in a matter of seconds. Fortunately, most car thieves rely on the
carelessness of their victims. Security conscious drivers lose less than
those who are careless do. |
|
According to the FBI, most cars are stolen because they are easy to steal.
Eighty percent (80%) of all cars stolen last year were unlocked at the time.
A significant number of automobiles are stolen because drivers fail to
remove ignition keys. Believe it or not, 40% actually had the keys in the
ignition. |
|
Auto theft crimes most often take place at night and are committed by
young males. Top spots for auto theft include malls, apartment complexes,
stores, churches, and office buildings. No matter where you are, you are
always at risk. |
