A new decade is here, and we look forward with excitement to new vehicle technology. The 2010s have offered an electrification of the vehicle fleet, self-driving cars, massage chairs, etc., as well as increasingly aware and comfortable drivers. However, thefts of cars and car parts put a damper on the party.
We've compiled a list of the most important anti-theft products you need for your car in 2020.
Rim lock – New, Swedish invention
At the top of the list is of course Rimgards® rim lock. We will make wheel theft a yesterday's problem for years to come, and our lock is by far the best on the market. Check out the entire range here.
Video surveillance – Hi-tech security
Video surveillance for the home and garage has developed a lot, and there are everything from simpler solutions to sophisticated variants that analyze what is happening in real time with the help of AI.
Steering wheel lock – old classic
Although it's a bit more analog than an AI camera, it can be just as effective at deterring thieves. The steering wheel lock makes it more difficult for the thief who has gotten into the car.
"Kill switch" - hidden switch
Although it may appear a bit extreme, a so-called "kill switch" may be worth considering. It cuts power from the battery, ignition or a special fuse, which can make it difficult for a car thief and keep your car safe.
Car alarm – Another classic
Although most people do not react significantly when a car alarm goes off, but rather think "someone must have accidentally set off the alarm", the sound can act as a deterrent to a car thief who wants to operate without being seen or heard.
In conclusion, a small investment in anti-theft protection will help you ensure that your car is safe, which will save you time and money if the car thief were to arrive, as well as giving you peace of mind.
Let the 20s be a decade to remember as the one when we left wheel thefts behind us, wheel thefts feel so 10s.
