It doesn't matter if you drove it off the lot yesterday or if it has 300,000 miles on it, car thieves are always in the market for easy-to-steal parts and accessories. And sometimes Direct Auto Insurance says you won't even know what they stole until something goes wrong 😳 What?!

In addition to searching for vehicles they can safely steal, thieves also target specific car parts and certain items if they can get inside your car. This could mean something might be missing, even if you don’t realize it immediately.

Scary thought, isn't it? Not that one kind of thief is better than another, but car thieves are a special kind of deplorable. There's nothing like realizing your car was picked apart like an all-you-can-eat buffet after a near death experience behind the wheel.

If we had to choose to between having our entire car stolen versus some of the most important pieces that keep it running and us alive at 70 mph, we'd go with the whole shebang.
