40 Ex Car Thieves Spill Their Tricks to Help Avoid People’s Cars Getting Stolen and It’s Eye-Opening
Not Only for Babies
Who said those baby monitors are only for babies? It seems like you can use them to prevent car thefts as well. This makes perfect sense. Any good baby monitor gives you the option to see and hear your baby while you are away.
So, why not just put one in your car? Chances are that if it gets stolen you’d know who did it and where it is. This would make life a lot easier for the police.
Theft in Broad Daylight
Not all car stealing is done when the owner is away or after dark. Some daring car theft moves actually happen when you are in the car. Though, this seems more like car hijacking than stealing.
Think of it as a scene from GTA. Someone puts a bottle between the fender and the wheel, so it would make a frighting sound when you start driving and then snatches the car when you stop to inspect it.
Neutralize the Fuel Pump
No car can run without gas (unless it’s electric). So, what’s a better way of preventing it from getting stolen, if not by disabling the fuel pump every time you leave it? While this solution requires some technical know-how, we find it quite useful and ingenious.
The best thing to do is just to take your car to a garage and ask your mechanic to do it. It’s sure better than taking the risk.
Old School
Using a special bar to lock your steering wheeling isn’t a new invention. It’s been with us at least since the ‘90s and possibly even sooner. We’re not sure how effective it is since a skilled thief would probably find a workaround.
However, the point is not to delay them but to just make sure they understand that this car is not worth the hassle. Hopefully, they would just give up and move to the next car in line.
Owing a car may be a great experience. Being a car owner can make your life easier since you can use them to run errands, transport stuff, and just generally move from place to place without much difficulty. However, this also makes you a target for car thieves. We have compiled a list of tips by former car thieves that would help you protect yourself against such unpleasant eventualities.
