Interview Or Article: The Mind of A Wheel Thief and How To Beat Him or Her At Their Own Game

Larry:  

 

I have a highly credible source below who can speak with you or share a
vendor neutral article on this topic, especially for general car owners or
since graduation season is next month with tons of cars typically purchased
for thousands of grads. 

Hello, 

The latest data shows that during the final quarter of 2023, wheel and tire
theft claims were up 6% year-on-year, according to WheelNet. Furthermore,
replacing stolen wheels and tires can be costly. Claims for these parts
range from $175-$17,000, with some claims reaching as high as $40,000,
according to Property and Casualty 360.

And while many everyday car owners may be aware of the standard wheel locks
that they can purchase to protect their valuable assets, they are not aware
that many of the traditional locking solutions do not take into account the
real mind of an auto or wheel thief. 

For example, how they meditate on key times of the day to strike, or think
about who is the easiest target, or what are the simple ways to get in and
out of the scene quickly, or even which cars have the easiest lug nuts to
screw off. 

But there are experts who believe that not only do you need to understand
how these thieves think, but also come up with ways to beat them at their
own game and to add further deterrent mechanisms to locking technologies
that keep them from picking your vehicle as their next target.

That's why I thought an article or interview on the topic Understanding The
Mind of A Wheel Thief and How To Beat Him or Her At Their Own Game - would
be very educational for your audience. 

I have a very engaging source below. 


David Lichter, Founder of  <https://lockhornsusa.com/> Lock Horns, the
creator of the first fully patented wheel lock solution that comes with a
personalized lock and unique key code technology that adds 5 layers of
protection -- making it difficult for thieves to steal your valuable wheels.
Designed with beating the thief in mind, the 5 layers include,
<https://lockhornsusa.com/> Layer 1 lug nut, Layer 2 lock, Layer 3 lock key,
Layer 4 cap, Layer 5 cap key.  What's interesting is in 2019 David woke up
to the wheels on his car being stolen. After searching the market for a
higher quality locking system, he could not find one so he created his brand
designed to help millions of car owners protect themselves, their children
and families who drive cars.
