Marking Your Car

Vehicle crime is a serious business with professional thieves making large amounts of money from the stealing targeted vans or cars. Thieves who steal cars are typically either professional or opportunistic. Opportunistic thieves are those who see a car and decide to steal it because it is available and fairly easy to do so. Often these cars are then driven for a short period and before being abandoned, and recovered by the police. Professional car thieves on the other hand, target selected makes and models of cars and vans, which they then alter in order to make them harder to be recovered. Professional thieves also strip vehicles and sell off the parts to meet the demand from consumers for cheaper car components.

The likelihood of vehicles being recovered once they have been stolen by professional thieves is a lot lower. Research has shown that as little as 58% of all vehicles stolen in 2000 in the UK were recovered. This statistics provide further evidence that professional thieves work hard to ensure that a car or van cannot be traced. Fortunately there are a few things that you can do to protect yourself from being a victim of car crime. Making sure that your vehicle is easy to recover is a good way of deterring thieves.

You can do this by marking the vehicle in a number of different ways. When a car has been marked then a professional thief knows that it will take extra time and effort to disguise the vehicles identity, this is turn may dissuade them from stealing it. Marking your car needs to be done using a unique number, often the VIN number is used but another number can be utilised as long as it registered with your details. You can use a secure plate which is engraved with this number and placed on the bottom of the windscreen.

This is makes the marking highly visible and because of the materials used the secure plate is difficult to remove. Another option for marking your vehicle is to have the VIN number put on at least ten or more of the vehicles major components. The higher the number of components marked the more work required to remove the marks, making it less attractive to thieves. The VIN number or the number plate details can also be etched onto all the glass on the vehicle which again provides a highly visual deterrent.

If you are unsure on how to go about getting your vehicle marked you should seek advice from your local garage or car dealership. There are a number of companies who offer professional van and car marking services and it is recommended that you use their services as opposed to attempting to mark your vehicle yourself. Getting you car marked is a good way of deterring professional car and van thieves from stealing your vehicle. It can also help to reduce your car insurance due to this additional theft deterrent being in place.

Tracking her down without his mask and gun, Doug introduces himself, and as soon as he and Claire meet, their mutual attraction is undeniable . . .

Liars & Thieves $8.99 Liars and Thieves is Stephen Coonts as you've never seen him before-a story as chilling as it is unforgettable. Tommy Carmellini, a CIA operative who is unafraid to walk both sides of the law to attain his objective, uncovers a dark conspiracy that leads to the highest levels of the American government-and to a ruthless manipulator who will stop at nothing to keep a decades-old secret. Liars and Thieves opens as Carmellini is sent to post guard duty at a farmhouse in West Virginia's remote Allegheny Mountains, where top government operatives are debriefing a star defector: the ultimate KGB insider, a man with records on every operation and every dirty trick the shadowy intelligence agency has ever run, from Lenin to Putin. Carmellini arrives to find the guards shot dead and a ruthless team of commandos--American commandos--killing everyone in sight, then setting the house on fire. He escapes in a hail of bullets with what seems to be the sole survivor, a stunningly attractive translator who then steals his car, abandoning him, after a deadly mountain car chase. But one other person survived the massacre: The man whose fractured memory holds the KGB's most embarrassing secrets, including something for which someone will kill to keep it quiet. Carmellini teams up with his mentor, Admiral Jake Grafton, and together they track down the amnesiac defector. From there, the hunt is on as they become the target of a lethal squad of killers who can only be taking direction from someone very close to the president. From a bloody ambush at a posh Virginia estate, to assassinations on the decaying streets of inner city Washington, to a makeshift safe house at Grafton's Delaware summer home, no place is outside the ruthless conspiracy's reach. Carmellini and Grafton must learn to tell friend from foe as they fight their way through a poisonous wilderness of intrigue, all the way to a presidential convention in New York City-and to the surprising identity of someone standing on the verge of absolute power who has jeopardized the safety of the entire nation to prevent a dark secret from ever seeing the light of day.
