Motor vehicles are the primary mode of transportation for most of us, and often, an indispensable part of our lives. But what would happen if yours suddenly disappeared? Vehicle theft is a very expensive crime, with the cost of stolen vehicles pegged at more than $7 billion. 804,400 motor vehicles were stolen in 2020. Only 56% of all stolen motor vehicles were recovered. Of all motor vehicles stolen, 74% were passenger vehicles.
Take action! Here are ways you can help prevent motor vehicle theft.
• Park in well-lit areas.
• Close and lock all windows and doors when you park.
• Hide valuables out of sight, such as in the glove box or trunk.
• Do not leave your keys in your vehicle.
• Do not leave the area while your vehicle is running.
