Criminals are quickly adapting to technology, putting drivers are risk of being hijacked or having their vehicles stolen.
Vehicle tracking group Tracker says that keyless access theft is again emerging as one of the most common forms of vehicle theft in South Africa, as the group’s latest Vehicle Crime Index ticks higher.
Duma Ngcobo, Chief Operations Officer at Tracker, expressed concern as the numbers drawn from over 1.1 million Tracker-installed vehicles continue to climb yearly. The criminal counterpart can then gain access to the vehicle via the transmitter and drive away with it. Consider deactivating the keyless entry function by following the instructions from your motor manufacturer or your vehicle handbook. Do not follow the same route to and from your destinations. Try to change this regularly so you don’t have a driving pattern.
