There were 58,285 vehicles stolen in Australia in 2019, a 9% rise from 2018
It is estimated that a car is stolen in Australia every ten minutes. More than 8,000 cars are stolen in Western Australia each year, and less than 70% are recovered.
The average age of stolen cars in Australia is around 12 years. You can reduce the chances of your older car becoming a statistic by installing an immobiliser. This is an electronic security device fitted to your vehicle that prevents the engine from running unless the correct transponder key (or remote) is present. This prevents the vehicle from being "hot-wired" after entry has been achieved and reduces motor vehicle theft.
Modern car alarms are designed to respond to a variety of different security threats, such as break-ins, damage from impact and even loud noise in the vicinity of the car itself.
