Everyday motorcycle theft prevention tips




While there may be a long list of activities planned around the country for the long weekend celebrating Memorial Day, having a motorcycle stolen shouldn’t be one of them.

Yet Memorial Day ranks as one of the most popular holidays for vehicle theft, including motorcycles. According to the National Crime Information Center’s (NCIC) latest data, 2,599 vehicles were stolen on Memorial Day making it the fifth most targeted holiday for vehicle theft.


Quote from the article:
Despite the fact that the overall national vehicle theft rate has declined for six consecutive years, LoJack cautions consumers that the national rate of unrecovered vehicles is at its highest point in more than 20 years. In fact, 43 percent of vehicles stolen in 2008 (latest FBI data) were never recovered, amounting to 411,444 stolen vehicles not returned to their rightful owners.

Theft prevention expert D.J. Thompson, Director of Law Enforcement for LoJack and a former officer with the Connecticut State Police offers the following theft protection tips which combine common sense approaches, theft prevention devices and tracking/recovery systems.
