Don't run the risk of car theft and identity theft

RAPID ESCALATION: As cars get smarter, so do car thieves.

Vehicle thefts may be falling in the US and the UK, but the emergence of a new generation of smarter car has also seen with it the emergence of an equally smart car thief. 

"The FBI reports in its 2013 Uniform Crime Report that a vehicle is stolen every 45.1 seconds in the United States, which amounts to more than US$4.1bil (RM15.60bil) in lost assets each year," said Patrick Clancy, vice-president of law enforcement, LoJack Corporation – a company that develops anti-theft and tracking devices for vehicles.
