PHILADELPHIA - June 9, 2004 - Thieves are known to steal cars for about $200 each. thirty to sixty seconds and the car is gone. The ease and speed in which an automobile can be boosted makes it an attractive alternative to earning an honest living.
Car thieves are having this heyday because most anti-theft devices fail:
- Car alarms are frequently set off by accident and therefore mostly ignored.
- Popular bars/locks applied to the car's steering column can be easily retired once the plastic steering wheel is cut in half.
The carjackings appear unstoppable. Thieves are so emboldened that they are even stealing S.W.A.T. vans, Government surveillance trucks, and police cruisers.
To protect a car from being driven away by thieves:
- Lock the BRAKE or CLUTCH pedal in place, advises Unbreakable Lock Company.
Since a car's brake or clutch pedal must be depressed before moving the vehicle, the would-be thief cannot drive it anywhere when one or the other is inoperable.
