The Realities of Vehicle Theft

There's no doubt that vehicle theft is on the rise in many major cities. Vehicle theft comprises one-fifth of all crimes committed.

A motorcycle is especially vulnerable to theft because it is light-weight and easy to drive away or place into a larger vehicle without detection. And once stolen, motorbikes are easy to convert so that you will have an extremely difficult time recovering it.

You should implement a comprehensive security system for your motorbike. Motorbike alarm systems deter theft and can alert law enforcers fast to the scene of the crime.

Typical Motorbike Alarms

There are many reliable brands of motorbike alarms you can find in automotive shops and even online stores.

The standard type, like Meta motorcycle alarms, are ultra-small and can be placed on a key chain. You simple press a button to activate the alarm. If anyone tries to touch your bike, a siren comes on.

Some motorcycle alarms have added features, such as motion detection near the bike and audible warnings. Most motorbike alarms also have remote access that allow you to activate or deactivate the alarm even when you're a few yards away.

Another very valuable feature is the immobilizer, which will not allow the thief to turn the ignition on and drive the bike away. The only way that the thief can steal the bike is to carry or load it onto another vehicle.

Other Tips for Motorcycle Owners

Even with a very powerful motorcycle alarm system, your bike can still be stolen by technology-savvy thieves. These thieves can figure out a way to deactivate your alarm system, and then they can take your bike.

You should employ other security devices and techniques for preventing theft. You should use a sturdy bike chain and lock to fasten your bike to a post or other solid object. Make sure the lock is off the ground where it can be broken more easily. Don't leave your helmet or any valuables on the bike.

Park only in well-lighted and guarded areas so that someone can be alerted if your motorbike alarm comes on.

At home, keep your bike in the garage and not just outside. Make sure that the garage is locked at night or when you're away.
