Anti-Theft Protection

Automobile theft falls under the category of things that we like to think will only happen to other people. The reality of the situation, however, is that car theft affects tens of thousands of people annually. Having one’s car stolen can create significant financial hardships and can interfere with his or her ability to get to work, to say nothing of valuable property that may have been in the vehicle when it was taken. Taking steps to protect your car and its contents with anti-theft devices can give you peace of mind and can prevent these troubles.

Installing or utilizing anti-theft devices can help to lower your insurance rates, too. Also, you may want to ensure that your policy contains provisions to replace a stolen vehicle, as these cannot be assumed.

Preventative vs. Recovery Anti-Theft Devices

Although there are many different products and kinds of anti-theft devices, they can all be essentially categorized by whether they are preventative or recovery-oriented measures. Preventative devices are intended to keep your car from being stolen in the first place. These include:

• Collars for steering columns
• Locks for steering wheels
• Alarm systems

Once a car is stolen, there are ways in which the vehicle can be recovered. These anti-theft devices are known as recovery systems.

• “Kill” switches
• GPS tracking equipment
