HOW TO TRACK STOLEN CAR

It is always important to know what to do to replace your car if it is lost. Here's a complete breakdown of how to track down your stolen car without much hassle!

With millions of cars swapping hands every day, the automotive industry has become a huge profit. It has invited many investors, participants and sadly, criminals. A recent report showed that there have been more than 6,000 cases of stolen vehicles in in the last five years. That's a big number. The vehicles were stolen from their garages, shops, on the road while the driver was walking or pointing guns at them. But whatever it is, it is always important to know what you have done to get your car back if you become a victim.

At Gabvic Korah Services Ltd, your safety is a priority. So we got our car experts to give you a complete overview of how to track down your stolen car without much hassle.

More than 6,000 car theft cases have been reported over the years

1. REPORT THE CASE RIGHT AWAY 

Once you have identified your vehicle as stolen, head straight to the police station and file a report. They usually ask you common questions as below:

• Your ID card / driver's license
• Your car number
• VIN
• Your car makes, model, year and color
• Where did you last see your car
• Any suspect related to the case
• Tracking device in your car if available

Make sure you are as accurate and detailed as possible. It is understandable if you are nervous and can't remember everything at once, but you can also come back when you have quietly reviewed your report. But remember, time is not waiting. You will not want to spend a month remembering how your car was stolen when the car may have crossed the border to another nearby country.

So try to report and renew your complaint as soon as you have the relevant details. To add to that, that’s why it’s always important to keep a copy of your car’s documents in the car while the first one stays at home. In this way you still have information about the model, product type, color, chassis number, engine number, vehicle ID number and license plate number.

2.ADD TO YOUR CAR INSURANCE PROVIDER

Many car owners simply get car insurance because the law says so, without finding out what the insurance is about. If your car is damaged or stolen in this, that's where they come in. Some companies offer you the opportunity to help look for a car, give you another car that you can use right now and so on. Try to give them all the necessary information they may need - just as you did with the police.

3. MAKE AN INQUIRY OR TWO AND LET INDIVIDUALS KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCE 

The shared problem is solved in between. That voice fits well into this situation. You can make announcements on your social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp. In this way, when people see someone driving a car that they usually see you with or encounter a car that matches the description you gave, they can help you track your stolen car. You can also talk to commercial car drivers in your community and car parks around your city. These drivers use the road every day. So they can easily let you know when they are passing a car similar to yours.

People nearby can give you valuable information about the suspect

Finally, talk to car dealers. 90% of the time, stolen cars are sold to car dealers at low rock prices. But when these dealers come in contact with cheap cars and find that they fit your description, they will not want to get involved in the theft of stolen cars and the police. They will certainly contact you

4. IDENTIFY YOUR TAKEN VEHICLE 

You should have all the details about your car so you can easily find it if you see one that looks similar.

First, check the vehicle identification number (VIN). This number is usually written somewhere near the engine, windscreen, car part, dashboard and more. So you can just walk past the car and cross your number to see if it matches. Asides the number, you can check the license plates.

Every car has a unique number plate. If the thief did not remove the plate number you may be lucky. You can also check your tire's expiration dates. Most people don't think of this but thieves don't even think about changing tires anymore. So if your ID number or plate number is erased or deleted, you can use tire days. When the drover arrives at the car, you can now check the chassis number among the other distinctive features.

5. DISCOVER THE VEHICLE UTILIZING A TRACKER 

If you are lucky enough to have a tracker installed in your car, this will go a long way in helping you find it when it is stolen. Some newer models come with pre-installed trackers, and you can even sync your car's navigation system to your phone. So get a professional or someone from a police professional team to help you track your stolen car.

Lastly, although we can advise you on how to track down your stolen car we will also tell you to try and keep your car safe. Always lock your doors when you get in or out of a car. Perform standard maintenance. Install the car tracker. Do not drive alone on unpaved roads. Follow these entire instructions and it will help.
