With winter around the corner, darkness creeps up much earlier in the evenings, and Tracker Network (UK) Ltd, the UK’s leading stolen vehicle recovery specialist, reveals that October-December is the most active month of the year for criminals stealing cars, and warns that thefts peak in November. We work with Tracker to ensure that you get the best protection on your vehicle.You may not consider your car desirable – but even if you don\u2019t have the newest, top-of-the-range vehicle, you are still vulnerable to criminal theft. A global lack of good quality used vehicles, alongside spare parts shortages, is increasing the desirability of older, lower-value cars, vans and motorcycles. Vehicles are often stolen and stripped for their parts or stolen in order to be shipped abroad to meet international demand. Lower-value cars are also often the target for joyriders.In 2021, the home office reported 101,198 cases of vehicle theft. Together with the police, Tracker has to date recovered over \u00a3575 million worth of stolen vehicles and continues to recover on average \u00a31 million worth of stolen vehicles each month. To take action against car theft, here are a few precautions you can take into consideration yourself to ensure the best possible security of your vehicle:Tracker\u2019s Security Advice\u25cb At home, don\u2019t keep keys in a place where they can be seen or accessed from outside.\u25cb If your vehicle has a keyless car entry system consider storing your keys \u2013 both sets \u2013 in a metal tin or Faraday pouch to block the signal against relay attack technology.\u25cb Never leave the keys in the vehicle\u2019s ignition when you are stepping away from the vehicle, even if you are just jumping out quickly.\u25cb Never leave your car running unattended when de-icing.\u25cb Always lock and secure your vehicle – even when you get inside.\u25cb Do not leave belongings or technology items on display, such as satnavs or mobile telephones.
