In the first month of spring, 620 owners lost their cars, hundreds more than usual. As Izvestia points out, citing his own sources within the Ministry of the Interior, market best sellers such as Kia Sportage crossovers are at risk. They are not taken away to kill the numbers and then sell them, but “for analysis”, to extract spare parts that have recently increased in price.
In addition to the hijackers, thieves interested in catalytic converters, mirrors and headlights have also become more active. Above all, such an audience loves premium models – Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz and the like. Unsurprisingly, optics and other details are removed unnoticed by others and the sale of stolen parts yields a hefty profit.
In general, it is now extremely dangerous to leave cars unattended on the street. After all, a ‘premium’ car can be blown off and a ‘popular’ car can be stolen. Therefore, it is better to additionally repair and mark expensive headlights – recently special services have appeared that deal with this. Well, an extra anti-theft won’t hurt anyone.
And continue with the topic of current news. As fashion coaches say, “crisis is a time of opportunity.” But apparently our compatriots just do not keep up with its use, which is why any financial or political disaster for them turns into a drop in income. Well, the lower the income, the less likely you are to buy a brand new car.
