Car Thefts Up 41% in Victoria – Here’s How to Make Sure Yours Isn’t Next

Victoria is facing a car theft crisis, with vehicle thefts jumping 41% in just one year, as released by the Victorian Government. That’s nearly 29,000 cars stolen—the highest number in a decade. Behind these numbers are thousands of people left without transport, facing insurance headaches, and dealing with the stress and expense of replacing their vehicles.

Why It’s Happening

Thieves today don’t need to break windows or use brute force. With advanced tech tools, they can clone key fobs, hack into your car’s systems through the OBD port, and drive off in minutes—often without a trace. And unfortunately, factory security systems often aren’t enough.
