Caught on camera: Attempted car theft foiled by vigilant neighbor

Attemped car theft is caught on camera

Car theft crimes have become a major problem in Baltimore. Here are 3 ways to help revent car thefts:

Install a Car Security System: Purchasing a high-quality system for your car can serve as a deterrent to would-be thieves. These systems usually come with features like GPS tracking, alarms, and immobilizers, which can help keep your car safe and help retrieve it in the event that it is stolen.

Park in Well-Lighted Areas: You may drastically lower your chance of theft by parking your automobile in a well-lit, busy place. Since thieves prefer to operate in remote, poorly lighted regions where they are less likely to be discovered, they are less likely to target cars that are parked in areas with high visibility and foot activity.

Use Physical Theft Protection Equipment: You may make it harder for criminals to take your car by installing physical theft protection equipment like wheel clamps, gearshift locks, and steering wheel locks. These gadgets serve as further obstacles, making it difficult and time-consuming for burglars to get past them, deterring potential theft.
