Your vehicle is one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime. Auto Theft is a great concern to all citizens, not just as a property theft issue, but as a safety issue as well.
Motor vehicle theft is a serious problem in many parts of the world. In Canada, the annual loss from vehicle theft is nearly one billion dollars. Every vehicle owner in Canada helps to pay for the annual cost of vehicle theft through the payment of higher insurance premiums. Others are directly affected through the theft of their vehicles, and through related crimes that can even lead to the loss of life.
The most common location for vehicle thefts are:
-
large, anonymous parking lots like those associated with shopping malls, movie theatres, airports, train or bus stations
-
automotive dealerships
-
residential driveways
-
unlocked garages.
