Why engine Immobilisers are so important

Whenever you hear of a colleague or neighbour’s car getting stolen, somehow it never occurs to you that the very same thing could happen to yourself. The fact of the matter is, the possibility of your own car getting stolen is very real. Vehicle security for your cars, trucks, bobcats, excavators is an added necessasity now more than ever!

Car theft statistics reveal that many factors such as your locale, the state you live in, and even the kind of car you drive all play a factor in how high a chance for vehicle theft is.

Motor vehicle theft costs the community millions of dollars each year in medical expenses, police time and energy, insurance costs and repairs to damaged vehicles and property.

Innocent people have been injured or even killed, when thieves steal, then crash, stolen vehicles.
More than 5,000 cars are stolen each year, and less than 80% are recovered.
As the number of cars protected by immobilisers increases, the rate of car thefts drop.

You can reduce the chances of your older car becoming a statistic by installing an immobiliser. Ask your insurance company if they offer a reduced premium when an approved immobiliser is fitted. Insurance companies should offer risk management to their valued members by offering them OEM branded engine immobilisers and reduce comprehensive motor insurance for doing so. Insurance companies will in turn save millions of dollars in claims.

The good news is whether you own a late-model car or something a little more vintage, by taking a few simple precautions you can greatly reduce your risk of becoming a victim of theft.’
