Vehicle theft is a major issue in many parts of India. Vehicle manufacturers and owners often come up with new ways to protect the vehicle from thieves. Many cars now offer connected car features which come with features like intrusion alert or break in alert. Even with new technology in place, the number of vehicle theft in the country doesn’t seem to come down as thieves also update themselves time to time. Here we have a video of a Mahindra Scorpio owner who actually tied his Mahindra Scorpio on an electric pole to actually prevent it from theft.
The video has been shared by Criminal Guys on their Instagram page. The person making the video came across this Scorpio in his area. The SUV was actually covered and the owner had actually kept a rubber sheet on the bonnet with thorns on it. This is usually done to avoid dogs from getting on to the roof or bonnet of the car. The nails of dogs often leave marks and scratches on the paint. The street dogs are also known to bite the antenna on the roof of the SUV. In order to avoid this issue, many car owners often cover the car completely and place such thorns or barbs of the bonnet.
However, this was not the reason why the person started recording the video. As he moved to the back, he noticed that the car was parked next to a pole and the owner actually tied the Mahindra Scorpio SUV to the electric pole. As seen in the short video, the owner actually took a metal chain and rope and tied the rear of the SUV to the electric pole. The SUV was parked on the road side and that makes the car and easy target for thieves.
Scorpio tied to a pole
The car owner probably didn’t want to take any chances and hence decided to tie the SUV to the pole. A thief who is coming to steal a vehicle will not be interested in a vehicle that would take too much time to break in. The more time he spends to break in, the more becomes the chances of him getting caught. We have seen several theft videos of cars and bikes online. In most case, the thieves break into the cabin of the car within seconds.
If the vehicle is tied to a pole or is equipped with an additional security feature or device, that makes things a bit more tricky for the thief. You can use accessories like gear lever lock, steering and brake lever lock to prevent your car from theft. Also the place you chose to park your vehicle also matters. Always ensure to park at a place with decent lighting. Also install a loud alarm or security system in your vehicle that would alert the people around in case of a break in. Also installing a GPS tracker in your vehicle is always a good idea. This would help you track the exact location of the vehicle in case it gets stolen.
