【Car owner's car knowledge】The end of each year is the peak period for motor vehicle theft. How to prevent theft well has become a major concern of many car owners years ago. So, what kind of anti-theft facilities can you choose to minimize the risk of losing your car?
Since we want to prevent theft, we must first understand some of the habits of thieves. Judging from the past cases of car theft and robbery, most of the car theft cases occurred in the late night or early morning, accounting for more than 80% of the total car theft cases. As for the location of theft, it usually chooses to start in those unattended occasions. Through these understandings, we have summed up the ten major points of car anti-theft at the end of the year, hoping to give car owners anti-theft tips for the New Year.
1. Buy car theft insurance
As the saying goes, take precautions before they happen. I personally recommend that car owners add a "theft insurance" to their insurance policy. Doing so will save you time, money and a lot of hassle in the long run. Especially for some particularly high-end cars, the investment of a small amount of insurance funds will minimize the risk of losing the car.
2. Pull the door when locking the car
Most car owners like to press the remote control to lock the door after getting out of the car, which is very cool. As everyone knows, this leaves a great opportunity for thieves. Maybe thieves have placed "jammers" around the car. The so-called "jammer" is to interfere with the remote control signal of the car's central control lock within 10 meters around it, making the remote control invalid and unable to lock the door. After the owner walks away, thieves swagger into the car to steal. Therefore, car owners must develop a habit of pulling the door handle after locking the car to make sure the door is locked before leaving.
3. Choose a place with a plumber to park
As we said before, thieves usually choose to start in an unattended place. Therefore, when car owners are parking, they should try to avoid parking their cars in dimly lit or sparsely-traveled places. They should choose places with open terrain, single routes, and many pedestrians. It is best to park in a parking lot with special personnel.
In addition, the orientation of the front of the car is also skillful. The best parking position is to turn the front of the car out, because if a thief enters the car to steal something, the large transparent front windshield will expose all his movements, which is why many thieves prefer to steal the car with the front of the car in.
4. Do not leave valuables in the car
Many car owners are convenient and like to put their bags in the car, but they don't know that this is a very bad habit. Therefore, try not to put some items in the car, especially those valuables. If you really want to put things in the car, you must put them in a place that cannot be seen from the outside.
5. Turn off the car when you leave the car
Another point is that the police often remind people to turn off the car in time after leaving the car, even for a few minutes. Never let a thief hear the engine sound when you are not in the car! Some car owners think they can start their car by just being away for a few seconds. In fact, just turning around can give car thieves the opportunity to rush into the car, put the brakes on the accelerator, and leave. The negligence of the car owner is undoubtedly giving away the car. Among them, the case of car theft and infanticide in Northeast China is the best case.
6. Install anti-theft
In addition to the above anti-theft techniques, car owners also need to install anti-theft devices on their cars. For example, equipped with mechanical anti-theft devices such as steering wheel lock and gear lock, the only way to reduce the chance of your car being stolen.
