Identity Theft Through Auto Theft

A recent survey by LoJack Corporation and the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) shows citizens are not taking the necessary precautions to protect their vehicles from theft and are putting themselves at risk for identity theft.

The survey showed that many Americans have bad habits that make them highly vulnerable to both vehicle theft and associated identity theft.

While people are cautious in some areas such as always locking their vehicle (79%) and never leaving spare keys (93%) in the vehicle, many leave themselves open to thieves.
