<v Speaker 4>it's all at the front of the show. But essentially,

18
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 4>if you're on social media, just use the hashtag tack

19
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 4>it out and tag me and we're going to be

<v Speaker 4>having a random draw on the third of July. And yeah,

21
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be sent by a SUS to you directly.

22
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 4>You just have to be in the continental US eighteen

23
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 4>or older. So yeah, thanks for that, Cary, appreciate it.

24
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 4>You've been so nice to you and Shannon plug it

25
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 4>every week and certainly that helps. The radio show version

26
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 4>is also on your sister station on the Patriot.

27
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome.

28
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

29
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever had your car stolen?

30
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I have not.

31
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 4>There have been an attempt on my wife's truck, and yeah,

32
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 4>we had a really loud alarm, which is a good deterrent,

33
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 4>and the lights flashed and they took off and we

34
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 4>watched it on the ring camera after the fact.

35
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 3>But no, A lot of my friends have had their

36
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 3>vehicles lifted over the last couple of years. It's become

37
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 3>a bit of an epidemic.

38
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, many years ago, but I had two different cars

39
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>stolen within about three or four years of each other.

40
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 4>It's the worst, so violated, right, whether your car is

41
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 4>broken into or outright stolen, it's still you feel just

42
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 4>so violated and it's aggravating. And then even if your

43
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 4>car hasn't been stolen, you're paying through your insurance for

44
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 4>all the other car thefts in your neighborhood. Believe you meet,

45
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 4>your rates are going up, your premium are going up,

46
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>even if you take these safeguards, which I'm happy to

47
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 4>share because I wrote this piece on how to use

48
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 4>tech and some other non techy, sort of common sense

49
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 4>ways to reduce the odds of your car being stolen.

50
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 4>But you're still a victim even when you're not. That's

51
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 4>the really frustrating part here. Yeah, I noticed some of

52
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 4>them are very low tech, which is one of them.

53
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 4>Iss park in your garage, right, if you're fortunate to

54
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 4>have a garage parking it. Yeah, and try not to

55
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 4>have any windows on your garage or at least have

56
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 4>them tinted or you know where you can't see what's inside,

57
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 4>so out of sight, out of mine is the easy

58
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 4>sort of solution. And if you do have to park

59
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 4>on your driveway, then at least have the you know,

60
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 4>bright lights and security cameras that can both act as

61
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 4>a detern and prove as video evidence should you need it.

62
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, a lot of people have those floodlights that.

63
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 4>When you pull onto your driveway they detect motion and

64
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 4>they automatically turn on.

65
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 3>So that's good. Thieves do not like that, so that's

66
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 3>a good idea.

67
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 4>Or if you park it in your garage and you're

68
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 4>lucky enough to have a second, less expensive car, a

69
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 4>low tech tip is to just park that cheaper car

70
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 4>behind your priceier one. Some other suggestions by an inexpensive

71
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Faraday pouch or box which prevents the electronic signal from

72
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 4>being hacked wirelessly. You know, just put it as low

73
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>as ten bucks on Amazon and keep your fob away

74
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 4>from the front door if you can put it more

75
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 4>in the center of your home in that Faraday pouch.

76
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 4>Consider an anti theft steering wheel lock or the actual

77
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 4>wheel locks for those who want it. There's also that

78
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 4>OBD port onboard diagnostic support which is usually below into

79
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 4>the left of your steering wheel. Some people lock that

80
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 4>as well, so that can't be tampered with easily. I mean,

81
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 4>anything is possible when there's a will, there's a way.

82
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.280
<v Speaker 4>You want to add as much time as possible because

83
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 4>the thieves do not have that time, or at least

84
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 4>install an aftermarket car a mobilizer, so if you don't

85
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 4>use a key or a pin code to officially start

86
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 4>your car, it will stop running or not start at all.

87
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 3>So there's lots of different things.

88
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 4>If your car is stolen and you have a GPS

89
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 4>tracker in there, like a lowjack or even an air

90
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 4>tag which is just twenty bucks.

91
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 3>Not a bad idea, but never try to retrieve your

92
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 3>car on your own. Don't don't anymore?

93
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, right, bring it to the authorities, hopefully they'll help you. Yeah,

94
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 4>I've heard mixed stories about that. But never try to

95
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 4>go into a sketchy neighborhood and look for your car

96
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 4>on your own with a baseball bat.

97
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Not a good idea. It's not going to end well.

98
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, that's it. I guess.

99
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 4>One more is that if you have a dash cam,

100
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 4>which a lot of people like a dashboard camera, the

101
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 4>newer ones have what's called a parking mode, and so

102
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 4>when you hop into the mall or you're having dinner

103
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 4>at a restaurant and you valley your vehicle, the camera

104
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 4>lies sort of idle until it senses motion or sound

105
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 4>directly around the car and then starts recording. And that

106
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 4>way you can even get a pushed notification to your

107
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 4>phone and even.

108
00:04:58.800 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Have two way talk.

109
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 4>You could say the guys, the cops are coming, get out,

110
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 4>and that may help as well. But a parking mode

111
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 4>is a nice feature to look forward at dash cam.

112
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 4>So if you want to learn about these ten.

113
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Tips, I point out how Canadian it is for you

120
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 4>odds of your car being stolen or being busted into
