Common THEFT METHODS:

OBD PORT Theft

The OBD PORT is the "On-Board Diagnostics" port on your vehicle. It's a communication interfaces for the vehicles monitoring & control systems. Its also used by garages to identify and resolve faults.

KEYLESS ENTRY Theft

A keyless entry system is fitted to many modern vehicles. Entry to the car and ignition is permitted to anyone who is carrying the electronic "key fob". This is very convenient since no physical key is inserted into the car. 

Issue: The keys radiate electronic signals constantly. These can be captured and relayed long distances to the car using simple technology that's readily available to enable theft.​
KEYLESS ENTRY Theft

Catalytic Converter Theft

A catalytic converter is part of a vehicles exhaust system. Every petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicle has one that converts toxic gases into less-toxic pollutants. This is achieved by a chemical reaction in the presence of precious metals (eg. platinum, palladium and rhodium). 

Issue: The precious metals contained within in catalytic converters are targeted by thieves who jack-up your car and steal its converter in 60-90 seconds. Replacement of the stolen converter can cost thousands!

Car Door Handlers

Do you  leave valuables in your car at night ? Sunglasses, navigation devices, medication, tools, sport equipment or loose change ? What happens if you forget to lock your car ?

Issue: There are thieves that wonder the streets day & night trying car door handles, van doors and boot lids. If unlocked, they will steal your valuables. They operate because they constantly find cars and vans left open by human error.
