The steering wheel lock you paid thousands of dollars for is a piece of crap. A 36 digit Israeli security code, a 24-hour armor, these are just a piece of furniture for car thieves. If the thief takes a fancy to your car, he/she can take 2 ~ 3 minutes to saw the steering wheel (your lock is not easy to saw, he/she saw your steering wheel). And then, throw the steering wheel along the gap - your 1000 dollars have gone. So now you see, these thieves are the best at reverse thinking and take advantage.
One of The Sneaky Tricks of Car Thieves: Take cover from the Alarm
Install an alarm after buying a vehicle, and everything will be alright? NO! Car thieves are good at making your alarm mute with a brick. At first, let's look at how the alarm works.
In general, the alarm goes off by feeling the car vibration and the balance angle of the ground. But it will not make another alarm when the vibration again or angle changes twice in a short time. The principle of an auto anti-theft alarm device is to collision and vibration. To turn on the power switch to make an alarm. We often find that the alarms go off frequently and there is no theft. As a result, it is very easy to make people nervous, eventually relax your vigilance.
On rainy and windy days, this mind-numbing time is used by car thieves to break windows and pull off alarm wires. Of course, on sunny days, they also use this method to steal vehicles. First, they tap your car. Then, they smash the glass with a brick and quickly pull the alarm cord. After a short alarm, nothing happens.
Many people are used to not looking at the vehicle when the first alarm, only looking at the vehicle when the second alarm goes off, because many car owners think that the first time is a false alarm and the second time is when someone touches your car (normally it is true), and the car thief takes advantage of this. As a result, a large number of car thefts occur late at night or early in the morning, when people are sleepy and insensitive to the sirens outside.
One of The Sneaky Tricks of Car Thieves: the Master Key
Today's highly intelligent unlockers do not need any technology, skills, it will generate high-frequency vibration by electricity to unlock. These sorts of various unlock tool, can be bought on the network. And the kind people know nothing about it, the awareness of prevention is still very weak.
At present, the method of making the lock has not been improved, the old method is still used, which is to prevent the rotation mechanism of the pin's ejection position, so as to achieve the purpose of locking. But you may not know that softer materials, such as copper, are often used to make pins, which gives car thieves a good chance. If your lock is designed in this way, thieves make a matching key mold out of very hard steel and insert it into the keyhole to turn the steel key hard enough to make the soft marble useless and unlock the lock. Alright, are you confident in your lock?
So, try to buy more external locks when buying a car, so that your car's insurance will increase accordingly. Don't take chances, because these thieves know a lot more than you do about how and how to prevent theft on all kinds of cars.
One of The Sneaky Tricks of Car Thieves: Anti-theft chip that can be destroyed by teeth
At present, many models of high-end cars are equipped with so-called dozens or even hundreds of roll code anti-theft chip, and the chip-like digital alarm is now the focus of high-end car anti-theft development, most cars are using this way as the original anti-theft device.
The basic principle of a chip-like digital alarm is to lock the motor, circuit and oil circuit of the car. The car cannot be started without the chip key. The digital password duplication rate is extremely low, and you have to use the security key to connect the car's security lock to unlock it. As the same brand of car, even if there is no private CODE, it can also use some special and fixed operation to make anti-theft chip stop working (such as engage a gear several times, turning around the steering wheel several times, turn on and turn off lights several times, and other operations), which can also start the car.
It is a great pity that many cars are not protected against theft. Recently, a very simple example, there is a thief in Germany, he pulled out the anti-theft chip in the computer mainboard every time when stealing cars, bite the anti-theft chip with front teeth, and then match the car ignition assembly and keys with anti-theft chip, diddle the confidence of the central computer. Here again to remind the owners of those upscale cars, check the anti-theft facilities to prevent damage, and then carefully look for the car manufacturers in order to maintain convenient and hidden private CODE.
The development of anti-theft in four directions:
At present, according to its structure and function, the lock can be divided into four categories: mechanical type, electronic type, chip type and network type. The four types have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the development direction of anti-theft is to the higher degree of intelligence chip type and network type development.
1. Mechanical lock is the most common and the earliest anti-theft lock. Now it is rarely used alone, mainly used in combination with electronic lock and chip lock, and mainly divided into steering wheel lock and shift lock.
2. Electronic anti-theft lock is one of the most widely used anti-theft locks, divided into one-way and two-way. One-way electronic anti-theft system's main function is: open and close of car doors, vibration or illegal to activate the door alarm, etc. The two-way electronic anti-theft system is more intuitive, which can let the owner know thoroughly the current situation of car. The LCD will display the current situation of car under the remote control when the car alarm goes off. The disadvantage of it is the effective range is only 100-200 m.
Chip-like digital alarm is now the focus of high-end car anti-theft development, most cars have adopted this way as the original alarm. The basic principle of a chip-like digital alarm is to lock the car's motors, circuits and fuel lines, preventing it from starting without the chip key. The digital password duplicate rate is extremely low, and it is necessary to use the security key to connect the security lock to unlock, to eliminate the drawbacks of being scanned.
4. Network anti-theft means to realize the functions of opening and closing the door of the car, starting the motor, stopping the car, positioning the car and providing remote vehicle condition report according to the requirements of the owner through the network. Network anti-theft is mainly to break through the limits of distance. At present, the most commonly used networks are: wireless network (BB network), GPS(satellite positioning system), among these the most widely used is GPS.
