We invest a lot of money and time in our cars as well as in their maintenance. The more expensive the vehicles are, the higher the probability that they will end up getting stolen from some parking lot or even your driveway. Unfortunately, the fact is that car theft is on the rise.

Theft is not the only issue that vehicle owners need to worry about. An even bigger problem is that today’s car thieves use hi-tech and non-invasive techniques that make it very easy to slip under the radar and get away unnoticed. Now more than ever, it is important to take extra security measures to properly protect your vehicle against thieves.

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) and the Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA), auto theft in Texas is a growing problem. Also, the MVCPA gathered data that shows that more than 65,000 cars and trucks are stolen, and almost 200,000 are burglarized each year across the Lone Star State.

“The summer months of July and August are the time for thefts and break-ins,” said Bryan Wilson, MVCPA director. “There’s a reason why we say ‘Protect it. It’s yours.’ Thefts are still too high, and we need to get the word out and do a better job in securing our cars and belongings.

“Our independent data shows Texas has a long way to go in reducing auto thefts across the state,” said Fred Lohmann, NICB’s director of field operations for the Southwest Region. “For many people, after your home, a car is likely going to be the single most significant financial investment you make, and it’s important to take steps to protect your investment.”

Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority, the Insurance Council of Texas, and the NICB recommend drivers follow its four layers of protection to guard against vehicle theft:

Vehicle owners should always:

  • Remove keys from the ignition
  • Lock your doors/close windows completely
  • Park within well-lit areas

Popular warning devices include:

  • Audible alarms
  • Steering column collars
  • Steering wheel/brake pedal lock

Immobilizing devices can prevent thieves from bypassing the ignition and hot-wiring the vehicle. Some examples are:

  • Smart keys
  • Fuse cut-offs
  • Kill switches
  • Starter, ignition, and fuel pump disablers
  • Wireless ignition authentication

Tracking devices are extremely effective in helping authorities recover stolen vehicles. Some systems employ GPS and wireless technologies to allow for the remote monitoring of a vehicle. If the vehicle is moved, the system will alert the owner, and the vehicle can be tracked via computer.
