00:00hi guys and welcome to drive spark and in today's video we're gonna tell you a very very important
00:15news that everyone should know especially for those people who are buying a brand new car now
00:20you should remove your stickers from your brand new car just in case if you don't want your car
00:25to be stolen and how is that gonna happen we'll be telling you in this video so watch it till
00:29the end now car theft in india and around the world is a major problem on the internet we have
00:35several examples of how quickly thieves can actually steal a car and get out without any
00:42problem now just like cars thieves have also been updating themselves and learning new techniques
00:46of how to steal a vehicle now these are relying on technology to break into cars and you people
00:51especially who are buying new cars are making it easier for the thieves now the stickers that you
00:57see on the car especially on the quarter glass of a brand new car is basically a sticker that is
01:02pasted by the manufacturer at the plant now we also have seen people not only remove the plastic of
01:07the dashboard seat covers and even the stickers they do not do that especially for one reason is to
01:12make sure that your car looks brand new well that is a very very risky thing and a small mistake of
01:18not removing the barcode or the sticker from the rear windshield can cost your car and the thieves can
01:25take it very easily now the sticker that is pasted by the facility is for the convenience of the brand
01:30the sticker helps them to track the inventory easily the sticker consists of a couple of important
01:34details such as your win number model name variant engine version fuel type and even sometimes it has
01:41the color of the vehicle also mentioned now couple of months ago delhi police busted a gang that was
01:46known to steal high-end cars during the investigation and interrogation the gang members revealed that how
01:52they were operating so basically the gang member told the cops that they would click a picture of the
01:56sticker from the rear quarter panel of these cars these images were then sent to a technical expert
02:01who is not located in india but outside of india especially in dubai now these experts upon receiving
02:08the images would work on it and help the thieves unlock the security system using the code number on
02:14the sticker he would then generate a new code and send it back to the gang in delhi or wherever they
02:19are operating from in india and once they receive the new code they approach the vehicle and they
02:24break the window of the glass now the security system of the vehicle has already been compromised
02:27we assume that the alarms will not go off because they have changed the code of the vehicle now thieves
02:33then can enter the car and use a device to turn on the car with a new code and start the vehicle just
02:39like you start it with your remote without any hesitation they can also block the gps system using jammers
02:46that they carry with them and there have been a lot of incidents like this where people have done
02:50this they have been captured on video camera but obviously they get out because they are fully masked
02:55fully covered up and you just cannot track them now even when the car is started the engine immobilizer
03:01also fails to work because the system believes that the owner was using the original key to start
03:06the vehicle because they use such a code and overwrite it that the car thinks that the owner is only
03:11operating the vehicle this is what the harmless looking small sticker on the rear quarter panel
03:15of your vehicle can actually do now what can you do to prevent this obviously when you buy a new car
03:21you can first of all remove the stickers i don't know why but having stickers all around the car
03:26especially on your quarter panel does not look good it fades over time it leaves glue marks when
03:32removed later on because if the if your car is parked in the heat obviously the glue will stick to
03:36the glass and when you remove the sticker it will make the glass dirty and you'll have to do some
03:40extra effort to get the glue off the glass and when you park your vehicle you should use accessories
03:44like a gear lock or steering lock and even an intruder alarm so that your vehicle can be located
03:51even though you can put an air tag in your vehicle somewhere where the thieves cannot know it and
03:56if for example your car is stolen you can track your vehicle without even a thief knowing that you have
04:02put a tractor in the car so these are some ways you can prevent your car from being stolen but if you
04:09are leaving that sticker on which is on the quarter panel trust me guys you are in big trouble and you
04:15can get your car stolen so i hope you like this video i hope this video was informative and for
04:20such videos please follow drive spark and i will see you in the next one
