Anti-Theft Devices

Many insurance companies may give you a discount for certain anti-theft devices. Check with your agent for details.

• Ignition or fuel kill switches. Kill switches are inexpensive devices that disable the car until being disengaged.
• Visible steering wheel, floorboard, tire or gearshift locks. These locks disables key components of the vehicle, rendering it immobile.
• Hood locks. These prevent the thief from gaining access to your engine, security system or battery.
• Armored collar around the steering column. Collars protect the column and ignition from tampering.
• Alarms. Security systems are common and make loud warning sounds when the car is opened. Optional sensors may detect glass breaking, motion, tampering and towing.
• Vehicle tracking. A hidden transmitter enables police to track the car (may not be available in all areas).
