Protecting a car from theft is one of the key tasks facing every car owner. The choice of anti-theft systems is extensive, and their combination allows you to provide a truly reliable result.
Every car owner thinks about what measures to take in order to maximally protect his car from theft. Many find a way out in the design of appropriate insurance, someone trusts the services of a guarded parking lot, completely forgetting to conclude a written agreement on the liability of parking workers (often such an agreement is not provided at all). Most prefer to take care of the safety issues of their car on their own.
The main types of protective devices for the car
1. Electronic alarm system. Even the simplest security alarm system can warn you of possible troubles and scare away a boy with a nail or a tipsy teenager. True, you should at least hear the siren signal. If you often leave the car far from your place of stay, do not regret purchasing a more advanced and expensive modification of the "secret police", which will be equipped with feedback with the transmission of an alarm signal to the key fob.
2. In addition to electronic means of protection (or as an independent means), it is possible to install a mechanical interlock. It can be a steering column lock, a hood lock, or a "crutch" that blocks together with the steering wheel and pedals. The choice is yours.
3. The most modern means today can be considered an immobilizer, a device that breaks the electrical circuits of the ignition system, and only the owner of the car can control its operation.
4. Installation of a satellite detection system on a car allows you to determine the coordinates of the location of an already stolen car.
Basic rules to reduce the risk of theft
We strongly recommend that you follow these simple tips in your daily life.
1. Even when leaving the car for a few seconds, do not leave the keys in the ignition.
2. Always keep your car documents with you.
3. Apply anti-theft markings to components and assemblies of your car (including glass and wheels).
4. Bearing in mind that the set of car alarms is quite the same, invest additional funds to give your system originality.
5. Do not turn off the alarm, even if its operation annoys the neighbors.
6. Do not tell anyone about the details of how you organized the security system of your car.
7. Refer to the services of an insurance company - it will never be superfluous.
We hope that following these simple recommendations will become a habit for you and will reduce the risks associated with ensuring the safety of your car.
