Car Theft

Motorists in the UK have been warned to take extra precautions against motor theft over the next few months as the country enters its worst time of the year for vehicle thefts. Insurance claims data from a leading insurance company in the UK revealed this week that September, October and November were when most vehicle thefts occurred in the UK.

The reason why this period is very prone to theft is that most obvious is the shorter daylight hours - we all know that thieves prefer to work in the dark. And, after enjoying the summer evenings outdoors, many of us look forward to spending time indoors, which in many cases means we're not using our car as much in the evenings.

Interestingly thieves prefer to make away with the car which has had the Christmas gifts. There are evidences that some thieves look at stealing a car as an alternative to public transport! They use it as one-way transportation to their holiday destination of choice. So you may find many stolen cars near by the sea shore and resorts.

Interesting to know that. Be careful!
