### *Preventing Car Thefts & Burglaries: A Multi-Layer Security Approach*
Car thefts and burglaries remain persistent threats, but modern security systems can *deter, detect, and disrupt* criminal activity effectively. A combination of *physical barriers, surveillance technology, and smart tracking* provides comprehensive protection for vehicles and property.

### *Essential Anti-Theft & Anti-Burglary Measures*
#### *1. Vehicle-Specific Protection*
✔ *Steering Wheel Locks* – Visible deterrent against opportunistic theft
✔ *GPS Trackers* – Real-time location monitoring & geofencing alerts
✔ *Immobilizers & Kill Switches* – Disable fuel/ignition systems remotely
✔ *OBD Port Locks* – Prevent ECU hacking (common in keyless car thefts)
✔ *Dashcams with Parking Mode* – Record break-ins even when parked
#### *2. Property Security (Homes/Garages/Dealerships)*
✔ *Smart Video Surveillance* – AI-powered cameras detect loitering or forced entry
✔ *Motion-Activated Lighting* – Eliminates dark zones thieves exploit
✔ *Vibration Sensors* – Alerts for window smash attempts
✔ *Access Control* – Biometric or RFID-enabled garage/gate entry
#### *3. AI & Automation Enhancements*
– *License Plate Recognition (LPR)* – Logs all vehicles entering/exiting property
– *Facial Recognition* – Identifies repeat offenders near parked cars
– *Drone Surveillance* – Patrolling large lots (e.g., dealerships, fleet yards)
