How to know if a car is stolen

No Matter What

If you are caught driving a stolen vehicle, even if you were not aware it was stolen, the car could be impounded and you may go to jail. If you bought the car you will lose the money you spent on it. To recover that money you must find, sue, and win a judgement against the person who sold you the car.

Install a Non-GPS Device in Your Car

If you’re smart, you’ll install some other tracking device in your vehicle before it’s stolen. For example, you might be able to install a toll-detector in your car. If the thief drives your car through any toll, it will be captured and relayed back to you.

Key findings

20% of stolen vehicles in 2018 were recovered, taking an average of 11 days to be found. 30% of recovered vehicles come back damaged. On average, the reported value of vehicle damage and vandalism is $1,490.

Most new cars will have some type of location tracking technology included, but they have to provide you information on it upfront, you just have to actually read that stack of paperwork they give you to learn the details.

Part 1: Spyic – The best undetectable phone surveillance app

Already, Spyic is used by millions of users around the world. Spyic is equipped with various features that let you track virtually everything on your wife’s phone. All the tracking activities on iOS and Android phones take place in stealth.

Use your hand to feel in areas that aren’t easily visible. If a tracker is located in the wheel well, its magnet will need to be attached to a metal part, so look behind plastic covers that don’t require removal. Look beneath the undercarriage. Use a mirror on an extendable pole to look far underneath your vehicle.

Google Maps (iOS and Android)

You can call on Google Maps to help find your car, whether you have an iPhone or Android phone, though some of the steps differ slightly between iOS and Android. After you’ve parked your car, open Google Maps on your phone.
