my car

There are many factors that can contribute to the likelihood of a car being stolen. These include desirability, performance, cost of spare parts, and exposure to the marketplace. The major factor in car theft is the level of security of the car itself.

Assessment is based on the ease of entry, ignition lock/switch construction, original equipment (OE) engine immobiliser, OE car alarm, miscellaneous devices (such as locking wheel nuts, etc.) and stereo security provided by the vehicle. If your car has no alarm or immobiliser you could consider installing an engine immobiliser to decrease your car theft risk.
