CARTHEFTPREVENTION.COM was created to provide a valuable source for people to find information about how to help prevent their vehicle from being stolen, as well as tips for helping the police locate it if it has been stolen, and informational articles outlining the vulnerabilities and solutions for commonly stolen vehicles. This website was born from personal experience, lots of research, and discussions with auto theft investigators with the goal of having a one-stop resource to help people know how to keep their vehicle theirs.
It is the belief of many that trying to prevent car theft is futile because “if a thief wants your car bad enough, they will find a way to get it”. While this may technically be true, it’s a bit of a ridiculous mentality to have. Home-invaders kick in doors, does that mean you shouldn’t lock yours at night? No—of course not! The reality with car theft is that of course you can never make anything absolutely 100% impossible to steal, but you don’t have to. Using a well thought out Layered Defense for Auto Theft Prevention that makes your car way harder to steal than normal, will stop the vast majority of thieves, especially if you have a vehicle that is usually easy to steal. Chances are they will move on to an easier target, it’s less work and lower risk. They may cause some damage trying, but for those of us who love our vehicles, can’t afford to replace them, or are just tired of people taking our stuff, it’s a lot better than a successful attempt. And if we’re lucky the thief’s thwarted attempt will land them behind bars—where they belong. Thank you for reading, and I hope this website helps you never need our article on helping the police find your stolen vehicle!
