The saddest thing is that the thefts are committed using inexpensive devices, which cost on the black market, sometimes exceeding tens of thousands of rubles. It seems that gone are the days when a high-profile car thieves had to have a “Toolkit” for millions of rubles, and a thorough knowledge of the devices and methods of the hijackings. Now, any Amateur can buy devices to do criminal business. Frankly, a very dangerous trend. Do the number of thefts will only increase?
According to experts on anti-theft, from a technical point of view, everything is simplified to the maximum, and the only effective way today is not the technical equipment or the level of protection of the car (want to steal – steal in 80% of cases), and the inevitability of punishment for the offense. Law enforcement agencies must find a stolen car, and attract thieves, in accordance with the law.
