Automobile Thefts
Most of the motor bikes are stolen when left outdoors unattended – both during day and nights. It was found in many cases that these vehicles did not have double locking system or good locks. During nights some thieves abandoned them as soon as the fuel tank goes dry. Some dismantle them, some sell them at a cheaper price without documents and many thieves use them to commit crimes again.
To avoid automobile thefts follow the tips:
- Park your vehicle in the visual frame of a CC camera wherever possible.
