You sit in the car and listen to music. At this moment, the door swings open, a pistol pokes in your face, they pull you by the collar and drive off in your car. The complexity of anti-theft systems is growing, but so is the number of thefts. It is often easier for robbers to steal a running car than to tinker with an alarm. It's faster and easier.
One of the most common theft methods is the violent option. Most of the hijackings take place at night when the owner is not around. An alarm is broken, a window is broken, or an alarm is opened. Some of the cars are stolen during the day in crowded places. In third place is the car gop-stop. The man is quietly thrown out of his own car and the car is stolen. How to escape from a gop-stop of a car?
How to avoid violent car theft?
1. About 90% of car thefts are done when the victim is alone driving. 85% of crimes and car thefts are done in poorly lit areas. Therefore, avoid being reckless in secluded places.
2. When communicating with strangers, you only need to slightly lower the window, and not open the door wide open. This will save you from unnecessary trouble.
3. Most of the violent hijackings occur when the owner of the car gets into the car. They hit him on the head and leave him without a car. Be attentive when you approach the car if suspicious persons are circling around. Don't get stuck in your phone or get distracted. This makes you too good a target.
4. Do not leave your keys in the car when you get out of it. Burglars can tie a tin can to the car and then just sit down and drive away while you check the background noise. Always take your keys and lock your car when you get out.
5. If the alarm is triggered, then you do not need to rush to the car. The owner, who inadvertently brought the keys to the robber, calmly beat him on the head and left.
6. Close all the doors in the car so that you are not simply dragged out at the intersection. Keep the windows closed too.
7. Hijackers often arrange a small accident in a secluded area. A man goes out to deal with an accident, but his car is stolen. One bandit drives off in his car, and the second in yours. You better lock yourself in the car and call the police. Or you can just leave.
8. By car, stand in such a way that you can turn the steering wheel and drive away, and do not find yourself pinned down by cars. Always leave yourself room to maneuver when you can quickly leave a dangerous place.
What to do if the car is stolen?
If you did not manage to avoid theft, then you do not need to pretend to be a superhero. You will earn money for a new car, but not for a new life. Most hijackers only want your car. Your life is more important. Just give in and walk away while you're safe. Don't get into the car with the hijackers, they may be tempted to get rid of the witness.
Show prudence and prudence while driving in order not to become another victim of theft.
