Do you drive one of the most sought after cars in America? If so, good for you. However, if it's one of the most sought after cars by thieves, that spells trouble. With today's technology, there are plenty of ways to prevent thieves from breaking in and/or stealing your car, such as alarm systems, lo-jack and On-Star. But, those can all get pricey. Have you ever considered simply covering your car with a locking car cover? Not only does a car cover keep your vehicle (and your valuables inside) out of the line of sight of conniving thieves, but it also keeps your paintjob protected from harmful outdoor elements.

 I found this list of the Top 10 Most Stolen Cars in the U.S. If your car is listed on here, or even if it’s not, consider the most cost-effective way to keep your car protected from thieves, sun damage and bird droppings. A new car cover is easy to use, and costs much less than installing an ineffective alarm system.
