Car thieves nowadays are getting bolder and more sophisticated, aided by an arsenal of gadgets that are readily available for purchase online.
The number of vehicle thefts has dropped by 23 percent, with the majority of the 341 cases last year happening in mostly Johor.
Technology such as in-car cameras, close circuit television cameras and advanced security systems have helped put the brakes on car thefts.
At least six vehicles have been broken into at a multi-storey carpark in Hougang Central, with police stepping up enforcement.
Car thefts are almost nil in the context of Singapore. But it doesn't mean drivers should slack off the necessary precautions. We reckon it's always better to be safe than to be sorry.
