CarSmarti Highlights Importance of Layered Vehicle Theft Prevention as Auto Theft Rates Rise Nationwide
Be Smart and Protect Your Vehicles With CarSmarti
CarSmarti encourages a layered approach to vehicle theft prevention with practical, affordable tools that deter, delay, & help recover stolen vehicles.
As vehicle thefts continue to rise nationwide, CarSmarti, a Boca Raton-based vehicle security resource provider, is drawing attention to the growing importance of a layered approach to theft prevention—an approach supported by recommendations from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
According to NICB reports, over one million vehicles were stolen in the U.S. in 2023 alone, marking an increase in both volume and sophistication of auto theft. Industry experts note that many thieves now exploit online tools and advanced technology to bypass factory-installed anti-theft systems.
This trend has led safety advocates to urge vehicle owners to combine multiple forms of protection, a strategy commonly referred to as layered security. This includes the use of visible deterrents, electronic tracking, physical barriers, and unique identification tools.
“Criminals are increasingly bypassing standard vehicle security features,” said a CarSmarti spokesperson. “A multi-layered approach can reduce vulnerability and increase the odds of recovery.”
To support public education on the topic, CarSmarti is highlighting a range of anti-theft tools frequently recommended in the industry. These include:
GPS tracking devices for real-time vehicle location
License Plate Reader (LPR) recovery network access to aid in law enforcement-assisted recovery
Paint fingerprint decals to provide unique identification markers
Window deterrent labels, a low-cost yet effective visual deterrent
Steering wheel and seatbelt locks for added physical resistance
Faraday key shield boxes to block fob signals from relay attacks
CarSmarti also recognizes the role of other complementary tools, such as VIN etching, dash cams, and license plate security bolts, whether or not distributed directly through its network.
As part of its continued outreach, CarSmarti is collaborating with distributors to raise awareness around vehicle theft prevention. Local promotions and educational campaigns may be seen in select communities in the coming months.
