And the winner is ..... Santa Clara County!Congratulations Santa Clara, we were just awarded the highest auto-theft increase by the California Highway Patrol for all of California. Not a very great award, huh?
Auto-theft rose by 25 percent in 2006, but 2007 can bring change. New tech gadgets aimed specifically to deter thieves from targeting your car, or quickly finding it if you do. The article Keep thieves at bay appeared today in the San Jose Mercury News. You can find information about what you can do to keep thieves from stealing your car- from the trusty steering wheel club lock, to new alarms with remote keys that vibrate if your car's safety is in danger, or the highly popular OnStar program, which tracks your vehicle's location.
More interesting tid-bits in the article include statistical information, like the rate in other counties, and the fact that a car or truck is stolen every 25 seconds.
