Stolen Trucks and Lorries

Did you know that in the United States over 1 million Automobiles of all categories fall prey to theft each year. The spread is wide, from small cars to larger and more expensive autos. Four wheel drive vehicles like Jeeps and Trucks all get taken.

Interestingly in the top 10 of the most stolen vehicles list, Lorries and Trucks account for arround 3 of every 10 that are taken. Staggering statistics and a stark warning to owners and operators to make sure your Insurance is tailored to your needs and wants.

Trucks Are Often Stolen For Their Load

From the research I have done it would apear that some 100 Lorries or Trucks are stolen each day on America`s roads and wait for it.... stolen just for the loads they carry. Thats grim reading for any Truck owner and sadly, well less than half of this total it seems are ever recovered.

Trucks Can Be Protected Better

To help to combat the problems arround Truck Theft there are now on the market many different ways for you to fight back and help protect your investment. Things such as Tracking evices that are professionaly fitted and can be hidden in a vehicle and can be tracked remotely . This can help deter theives from taking Trucks and aids in finding them after the event.

Engine immobilisers can be fitted that stop anyone that is not authourised from starting the vehicle.

Fitting an Alarm is also good advice to follow.

Protect Your Trailers

Protecting your trailer can now more than ever be a fairly straightforward thing to accomplish. Systems are available now that come with their own power supply that lasts a significant amount of time. Wireless and Infra Red technology has come a long way and will often protect your trailer and save you the cost and consequences the theft would otherwise have caused you.
