Books about Car theft from Amazon.com

A concise and thoroughly practical guide to building and installing car alarms. The project-based approach makes this book ideal for students and hobbyists; design and installation engineers will also find it of interest.

Every circuit in this book is clearly described and illustrated, and contains components that are easy to source. Advice and guidance are based on real experience, and the designs themselves have been rigorously put to use on some of the most car-crime-ridden streets in the world. The designs in this book include systems as simple as a warning beacon, a range of immobilisers, and a basic alarm system; and more advanced systems that include add-on features such as a personal attack button and a courtesy light delay. Intruder detectors are described, and full constructional details are given including a guide to fault diagnosis and step-by-step installation instructions..

From the supplier: BMW South Africa has responded to the perception that its cars are often stolen or hijacked by offering free insurance against such events. The company has been battling what it considers is a mistaken notion shared by the public and insurers that BMWs are high risks for theft and hijacking. Its own study found that cars with the BMW locking mechanism were never stolen, but offered the insurance to convince the public. As of April 1996, only one claim had been made on the policy since its inception Jan. 1, 1996.

From the supplier: Ace Hardware Corp. created a subsidiary company that offered a variety of security services to its retailers. The Loss Prevention Services (LPS) Inc.'s services include in-store security assessment surveys, undercover and fraud investigation, pre-employment screening, loss prevention workshops and assessment of vulnerability to crime. The key to the company's success is in its security survey approach. LPS identifies the client store's weak areas and presents several alternative measures to cover these. The store then knows what makes them vulnerable and can choose what to do about it.
