Is Buying a Car Alarm Worth the Money ?

Two cars are stolen every minute. So is it worth spending money on a car alarm?

Drivers that believe thieves target only expensive cars or cars in large cities are incorrect. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau the 1995 Honda Civic is the most stolen vehicle, with the 1991 Honda Accord and 1989 Toyota Camry running close behind. The 1997 Ford F-150 was the highest listed pickup truck. These older vehicles are targets due to the high price their parts will bring sold piecemeal. While all vehicle owners should take precautions, it is worthwhile to realize when you drive a high-risk vehicle and take extra precautionary measures.

There are many common sense ways to avoid vehicle theft, such as locking the car, taking the keys, removing valuables or anything that would look desirable to a thief (like a bag or purse), not leaving the vehicle running, keeping the windows closed completely and parking in well-lit areas. This is obviously the least expensive form of defense.
