The typical auto theft involves forced entry to the vehicle and a disabling of the steering column's anti-theft devices which include the ignition lock cylinder, steering wheel lock, transmission shift lever lock, and ignition switch. Seasoned thieves can accomplish this in less than two minutes, but they always leave signs of their work. Thieves cannot drive away in a vehicle without damage to these systems, unless they have a key.
At HRYCAY, we have the expertise to examine the steering column's anti-theft devices and determine if the vehicle could have been driven without a key. Further, we can evaluate the vehicle's mechanical condition to establish if a motive for getting rid of the vehicle (i.e., engine knock) had existed prior to the theft. The information developed by a professional examination of the vehicle forms an integral part of the complete picture required for the evaluation of a suspicious claim.
