What to Do If Your Car Is Stolen

First, confirm it

Check that it was not towed and that you did not forget where you parked.

Call the police

Report the theft right away. Give the make, model, color, plate and VIN. If you have a tracker, tell the police and share the location with them.

Do not confront anyone

Do not follow or approach the vehicle. Let the police handle recovery.

Tell your insurer

Call your insurance company and start the claim. Keep the police report number.

Afterward

If the car is recovered, have it checked before you drive it. Consider adding layers before it happens again.

Prepare before it happens

Keep your VIN, plate number and insurance details in your phone. Take a clear photo of the vehicle once a year. Know where any tracker lives in the app. These small steps make a bad day shorter.

Quick answers

Can you recover my car for me?

No. Recovery is for the police. A tracker helps them.

Should I use the tracker myself?

Share the location with police. Do not go there yourself.
