 A car radio
is today not quite interesting anymore for thieves. Data of the Dutch
Statistics Organisation shows that they rather steal a notebook from your car.
. These car
radios are nowadays better secured, of course
.. Yes,
everyone has a car radio with a separate front display; however there is a
lively market for found front displays. And there are more and more complete
integrated models that are not easily removed by thieves.
. A
notebook is more interesting
.. For
sure, a car radio does 10, 20 euros at a fence, while you get about 100, 200
euros for a notebook. Furthermore a notebook lies lose in a car, no need to use
excessive force to remove a notebook.
. Strange
that people leave their notebook in a car.
..
Sometimes there is no alternative. When people visit the sports club, it is
inconvenient to take your notebook with you. The MO of the thieves is to visit
sports clubs in the evening and break into cars. About 80% guarantee that you
find a notebook there.
. Not only
the notebook itself is the objective?
.. No,
about a quarter of the stolen notebooks is investigated by a data dealer. It is
a reasonable unfamiliar phenomenon. The owner of the notebook is ransomed to
retrieve the information on the notebook, or the information is offered to a
competitor.
. That is
we you come in.
.. We offer
notebook security that can’t be compromised in the next 20 years. Theoretically
it can be done, but after so much time, that information isn’t interesting
anymore. Everyone that has information of someone else on his notebook is
obliged to protect this information against information theft. Originally published in Dutch in Metro News
