  • Abstract
    With the increase in the number of vehicles on road, there has been a marked increase in the number of crimes involving vehicle theft. In spite of several stringent laws being in place and security measures taken by car manufacturers, thieves still find a way to remain one step ahead and vehicle theft is still among one of the most reported crimes worldwide. Due to the expensive nature of motor vehicles, there is ample incentive for petty thieves to attempt thefts and a simple redecoration of the exterior makes it almost impossible to track the stolen vehicles. Numerous technologies have been mooted from time to time but have been unable to make a big mark due to their price ineffectiveness and complicated mechanisms. In this document a simple and economical solution to the problem has been presented. This scheme can be assembled and used even by private car owners and provides reasonable protection against vehicle theft.
