Warrant Officer David Ratau of Witbank Police Station advised that, despite having tracking devices, motorists must take additional security measures to prevent vehicle theft.

“When people leave their vehicles in parking spaces, they should always make it hard for criminals to steal their vehicle by making use of gadgets such as steering locks,” Ratau said. “We are not saying cars with steering locks don’t get stolen, but we have noticed that they are often safer than those with none.”
