7 Steps for Preventing Auto Theft

Paul Davis On Crime & Security Stripped in Seconds: Demonstration Illustrates HowCar Thieves Can Quickly Strip a Car of its Parts By Paul Davis Having celebrated Father’s Day this past Sunday, it should have been heartening to hear of a father and son working together. Unfortunately, I came across a story where one father and son worked together to steal 71 cars. Last month the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina charged a 69-year-old man and his 35-year-old son with stealing 71 cars. The accused father-son team then sold for scrap metal. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the 71 cars were all stolen near interstate highways in South Carolina and Georgia. The stolen cars were taken to scrap metal facilities in Berkeley County. The detectives working this case believe that the father-son car theft team may have stolen up to 100 cars. This story interested me as earlier this month I witnessed a trio of men strip a car of its parts in only 4 minutes and 59 seconds.
