Most often, cars stolen in Kyiv are transported to Odesa, where they are dismantled for parts in underground workshops, or altered by changing unit numbers and repainting the body, after which the stolen cars are sold.
But how can you protect your car from theft or arson?
Experts advise not to leave your car unattended. Guarded parking lots or a garage minimize criminals' interest in your car. Do not leave documents, money, or valuables in the car, especially in plain sight, and when leaving the car, do not forget to lock it and set the alarm. Just don't rely too much on the factory alarm, no matter how much it is praised. Nowadays, as soon as an alarm is mass-produced, after some time lock picks appear for it. Additional hidden secret switches and immobilizers will give you peace of mind and really help keep your car safe. Insurers, of course, advise concluding CASCO contracts, which must include a clause about theft.
