Welcome to Car-Theft.org! This is an independent non-profit website set up to provide information to the general public on car theft, the best ways of preventing it, and what to do if your car has been stolen.
Criminals are unfortunately not a dying breed, and although car theft numbers are slowly decreasing due to better and more sophisticated security measures fitted as standard equipment by manufacturers, auto theft is still a regular occurrence. What we can do is to offer the motorist some practical help on what to do to minimise the chances of it happening to you with simple and easy to follow tips, explain the many and varied types of theft, and highlight some of the better security devices currently on the market.
This is just how easy it is to steal your car in seconds:
We have several sections devoted to all the different aspects of automotive theft. We feature:
- Advice from official bodies and experts on methods of avoiding being a victim of car crime in our ‘Prevention Tips’ section,
- The tricks, tactics and schemes used by criminals to steal your car and its contents in our ‘Theft Methods’ section,
- Practical advice on what to do should you discover your car has been stolen in our ‘My Cars Stolen’ section,
- Lists of the most common cars targeted for theft in both the US and in the UK in our ‘Popular Targets’ section,
- Examination of the many different prevention and deterrent devices available in our ‘Security Devices’ section,
- And finally links to several official and government bodies set up to deal with car crime in our Links section.
Please spend some time reading this valuable information, you never know, it could make the difference between your car being there when you return to it, or being in the hands of a joyrider or professional thief!
