It is more important to prevent vehicle theft from sloppy understanding

With the development of China's economy and the improvement of science and technology. The car is no longer the kind of luxury that makes people "unmatched". It has entered our daily life, and the relationship with us is getting closer and closer. It is inseparable from working, and it is also apart from entertainment and family Not to open it, but it also comes with some annoying problems, the most important thing is that the car is stolen. So how should we avoid this phenomenon?

Recently, the Guangdong police launched a centralized network operation to crack down on car-related crimes, killing 40 car-related criminal gangs. Among them, 510 car-related cases, a total of 280 stolen motor vehicles were recovered, and 223 suspects were arrested. Among the recovered stolen vehicles, there are many high-end cars such as Porsche, Toyota Highlander, Camry, Reiz, Dongfeng Honda CRV and so on.

In order to understand the level of awareness of car owners against car theft, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 100 car owners in Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhuhai and other places through telephone and Internet. The survey found that 38% of the respondents believed that the most likely reason for the car being stolen was “the vehicle was parked in an unsafe place”. And 26% of the respondents think it is "lack of anti-theft awareness and negligence", and 24% of the respondents think it is "the vehicle anti-theft configuration is not enough".

First, choose the roadside parking, the most parking fees are the most concerned

From the usual parking location of the respondents, 34% of the respondents chose "street roadside", 30% of the respondents chose "residential area", and 27% of the respondents chose "parking lot". When the respondent's vehicles were not used for a long time, the number of people parked on the "street curb" decreased significantly, and only 16% of the respondents still chose to park on the "street curb". According to information released by the public security department, 58.9% of stolen motor vehicles in Guangdong are parked on the street, which means that parking on the street is more likely to be stolen than parking in residential buildings and parking lots.

From the point of view of respondents' choice of parking location, parking fees are their main consideration. The survey results show that 42% of the respondents chose "parking fees", 23% of the respondents chose "with or without guards", 20% of the respondents chose "close to themselves", and 15% of the respondents chose " Easy parking ". Respondent Mr. Yu said that in second- and third-tier cities, the phenomenon of random parking is more common. "Now the cost of using a car is getting higher and higher. If I park in the parking lot, then I have to spend a lot of money on the parking fee. And there are not many local parking lots. I have to find a parking space every time I go out. No more. "

Second, the electronic anti-theft device uses the most machinery and GPS need to be installed separately

Many brand auto manufacturers have already configured anti-theft systems for their vehicles when they leave the factory, from simple door locks to high-precision fingerprint recognition and intelligent anti-theft starting and locking systems. But are these anti-theft measures sufficient in the eyes of car owners? The survey found that 57% of the respondents added additional anti-theft devices to the vehicle, while 43% did not. Among the respondents who did not install additional anti-theft devices, 39% of the respondents believed that “the vehicle ’s own anti-theft function is sufficient”, and 27% of the respondents believed that “the vehicle is less likely to be stolen and no additional cost is necessary ", And 23% of the respondents think that" the car stealing technology is powerful, and it is useless to install it ".

The survey results show that convenience is the main reason for most respondents to choose an anti-theft device, 73% of respondents choose yes, followed by 40% choose "cheap". From the perspective of the types of anti-theft devices, electronic anti-theft devices are the most commonly used anti-theft devices by respondents, followed by GPS anti-theft devices and mechanical anti-theft devices.

Manager Zhou of a local automobile security company said that electronic anti-theft devices are more popular anti-theft devices. In addition to anti-theft alarms, many models are now equipped with engine electronic anti-theft devices as standard. Most of the mechanical anti-theft devices and GPS anti-theft devices require additional installation by car owners.

3. The anti-theft awareness of owners of luxury cars should be stronger and the probability of being stolen is smaller

The car prices of car owners interviewed this time are concentrated below 200,000 yuan, of which "under 100,000 yuan" accounts for 28%, and "between 100,000 and 200,000" accounts for 38%. And "between 200,000 and 500,000" accounts for 20%, and "more than 500,000" accounts for 14%. An analysis of the additional installation of anti-theft devices for vehicles at various price points revealed that the proportion of high-priced (200,000 yuan and above) vehicles with additional anti-theft devices was 71%, while low-priced (under 200,000 yuan) vehicles The proportion of additional anti-theft devices is 50%. Among the considerations for choosing a parking location, the proportion of “with or without guards” was selected. The respondents with high-priced vehicles were also higher than those with low-priced vehicles, at 29% and 20%, respectively.

In addition, only 38% of the respondents will pull the door to confirm that the door is locked before leaving the vehicle. The remaining 62% of respondents said they would not or sometimes would. The traffic police department said that many car owners think that the low price will not attract the patronage of car thieves. In fact, low-priced vehicles are more likely to be succeeded by car thieves than high-priced vehicles.

4. Four Misunderstandings of Car Anti-theft

(1) The car door can prevent theft

Some careless car owners think that as long as the door is locked, the car can be foolproof. But this is obviously not enough to cope with the ever-changing car theft technology. The most traditional method of driving doors is to use "soft hooks" to insert tools into the car through the gap between the door and the window, hook and latch the door, lift up, and open the door. For the current electronic car lock system, it is also difficult to prevent thieves from opening the door. According to the professional auto repair master, "As long as you find the line to control the latch, you can open the door with a click."

In addition, many thieves now use the "remote control password duplicator" to directly obtain the password to lock the car door and open the door to enter the car. Some thieves can even use the vehicle warm-up function to start the engine without stealing the wire and catching fire. It is recommended that the owner should carefully observe the surrounding environment before leaving the car, whether there are suspicious characters wandering in the attachment. After locking the door, you should pull the door hand in hand to confirm whether it is actually locked.

(Two) mechanical lock can prevent theft

Many car owners will add some mechanical anti-theft equipment to the vehicle, such as steering wheel lock, gear lock, wheel lock and so on. I want to increase the difficulty of unlocking, so that the thief can see the hardships and let go of the car. However, this lock seems to only protect gentlemen, and it is difficult to prevent villains. According to the relevant personnel of the public security department, for an experienced thief who can enter the vehicle illegally, mechanical anti-theft is virtually useless. Because the technical content of such anti-theft devices is not high, thieves can use a saw blade, hydraulic shears, or even a laser gun to open the mechanical lock within a few seconds.

Although the meaning of mechanical anti-theft may be more to satisfy the psychological comfort of the owner, after all, chat is better than nothing. Owners still need to add a line of defense to their cars, which is better than doing nothing.

(3) The parking lot is foolproof

As we all know, the guarded parking lot is always much safer than the street side. But can it really be foolproof if you park your car in the parking lot? In fact, this is certainly not the case, especially in the huge public parking lot. Because of the large number of vehicles in these large public parking lots, thieves can easily use cover to start. In case of negligence by the owner, the thief who left the parking card in the car and entered the car will be able to drive the car out of the parking lot.

It is recommended that the owner should keep the head of the car facing outside when parking, so that the security guard or others can see if someone is stealing the car. In addition, after parking the car, the owner should carry the parking card with him. The thief does not have a parking card, and even if he enters the car, it is not easy to drive the car away.

(4) Buying thieves and rushing to the rescue is not afraid of the car being stolen

Many new cars will be bought with burglary and insurance. When the whole car is stolen, robbed, or robbed, the loss of the vehicle, as well as being damaged during the stolen, robbed, or robbed, or the loss of parts and auxiliary equipment on the car, need repair The insurance company will be responsible for compensating its reasonable expenses. However, if the vehicle owner does not purchase a vehicle for theft and rush and does not count as an exemption, the insurance company will only pay a certain percentage of the actual value of the vehicle. Some insurance companies will also adjust the absolute deductible rate based on how many proofs are provided by the vehicle owner.

Since the subject of the insurance type is the vehicle itself, the compensation condition must be that the entire vehicle is stolen and robbed, and that it has not been found three months after the public security organ filed the case. Insurance companies generally will not compensate for losses caused by theft of other items in the car. In addition, if the owner of the vehicle has already applied for compensation and the lost vehicle was recovered more than three months later, the owner has the right to choose whether to get the vehicle back or claim insurance compensation.
