The sad reality of car theft
The incident in Afferde is not an isolated case. According to an overview of the development of car theft, the theft of vehicles and parts remains a common problem. Many drivers repeatedly ask themselves how they can protect themselves against such incidents. GDV informed that partial comprehensive insurance can help in the event of theft of vehicles or their permanently installed parts.
Comprehensive insurance not only covers damage caused by the theft itself, but also damage to vehicles caused by windows being smashed during an attempted theft. It will be interesting to see how those affected in Afferde will insure their cars so that they do not fall victim to such acts again in the future.
The local authorities are therefore urgently calling for vigilance: “Take good care of your cars and let us know if you see anything suspicious!”, the police continued.
