Not one vehicle in the history of the Ravelco has ever been stolen!

Alarm Systems: Known in the industry as "nuisance alarms". Outlawed in some major cities, including New York City are totally ineffective in deterring auto theft.

Tracking Systems: Although they sound good on paper, these costly systems are not very effective. They come into play only after the vehicle has been stolen, as reported by the Boston Police Department, the city in which the idea originated.

GM's PASSlock II, FORD's SecuriLock, CHRYSLER's SentryKey and TOYOTA's Engine Immobilizer: These transponder based anti theft systems consist of a miniature transponder which is imbedded in the ignition key head itself. When the key is inserted into the ignition a radio frequency (RF) is transmitted to the key. Click Here to read more.

Remote Starters: These devices may be real convenient by starting your car and warming it up in the winter and cooling it off in the summer, but please do not think these systems are secure.

Immobilizer Type Devices: The Immobilizer name is used by many different anti theft device companies around the world. Many foreign car companies install this system as standard equipment on their vehicles.

Touch Sensors: These devices hook up to the starter wire under the dash. An existing part of the vehicle, such as the cruise control button, the high beam lever, the wiper switch or even a radio knob, becomes the trigger for this device.

Flat Plug Devices: These devices are all mounted below the dash. The connections are very simple to make and only go to each end of the starter wire beneath the dash.

Steering Column Collars: Now nearly obsolete, these devices are worthless in terms of theft protection.

The Club: Widely advertised, this device is probably the best known anti theft product on the market today. But as demonstrated on CBS' American Journal, a car thief using a hacksaw can cut through the vehicle's steering wheel and remove The Club in just 22 seconds!

Keypad Systems: These systems connect to the starter wire under the dash. They can be defeated in seconds by locating the "brain box" of the keypad (which usually is wire-tied or taped to the steering column under the dash) and then touching the two contacts with a jumper wire.

Remote Starter Kills: Many Car Dealers promote this type of device because it is very - very easy to install and the dealer can charge up to $499 for it.
