A car anti-theft device is a device designed to prevent a vehicle from being stolen. It can either be a physical deterrent, such as a steering wheel lock or a tracking device that can help authorities locate the vehicle if it is stolen.
Car anti-theft devices are becoming increasingly important as car theft rates continue to rise. In the United States, over 700,000 vehicles were stolen in 2020, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). That’s an average of one car stolen every 43 seconds.
