Forgotten old: the best anti-theft remedy comes from the “nineties”

Tightness in the auto and auto parts market is necessarily leading to an increase in thefts: buyers no longer ask “where the firewood comes from” and are willing to overpay for scarce parts. Insurance won’t help – you can’t buy a new car. So you have to think carefully about the protection of the existing transport. The good old mechanics are relevant again. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Clashes in the Russian car market, where direct imports have not yet picked up and parallel imports have not yet really manifested themselves, lead to an extra ‘load’ on the secondary market: both the cars themselves and their parts. The demand for repairs is now so high that auto services are being “stitched together”, and dismantling shops and stores are selling more than they have. There are still no new supplies – parallel imports are only gaining momentum and laying routes. As a result, the number of thefts is growing, the lion’s share of which is specifically aimed at obtaining spare parts. Looks like you’re taking out insurance and sleeping peacefully. Only the transfer of the insurance company will not solve the problem – it will not be possible to buy a similar car with the money received. What must we do?
The correct answer is to protect yours. Bankers will not let you lie: in any crisis, you must first take care of saving, not accumulation or raising. The best way to protect a car from theft today is a security complex that not only stops the thief, but also deters it. The choice must be approached consciously and thoughtfully, with clear priorities: professionals coming for a particular car are unlikely to be stopped by all available means. But after all, there are only a few such ‘specialists’ and the majority are temporary workers who are situationally tempted by the big jackpot. And such “digits” can be stopped.
From a densely populated yard, where it is not easy for a passenger car to turn around, it is technically impossible to remove the car with a tow truck. They will try to steal “alone”. Electronics will be cheated, the door will be opened, not much mind is needed and there are thousands of detailed instructions on the internet. The lock on the chest is drilled out in 15 seconds. Is the path open? And here it is not.
Just like installers, car thieves hate a mechanical steering wheel lock. This device from the 1990s is hard enough to place, extremely clumsy to use, but even harder to hack. In addition to physical strength and the necessary tools, the hijacker requires agility and a range of knowledge that not everyone can boast of.
The basic principle of protecting a popular and mass-produced car, of which there are 10 in every parking lot, is the visual creation of the effect “more problematic than that of a neighbor”. As blasphemous as it may sound, but the maximum allowable visualization of a whole host of “anti-theft” – from the Airborne Forces beret to the list of security systems on the glass – should make the thief refuse a particular car in favor of another. And the same steering lock, which by the most conservative estimates will take 15 minutes – the shortest way to accomplish the task. And it’s simple: keep your car.
