Daylight saving time changes. Not only useful for this weekend, that hour of extra sleep to catch, car thieves do in the coming months, a profitable business.

It was perhaps a somewhat obvious, but it turns out that in the winter more autoruitjes be typed in, says jack of diamonds Carglass which relies on auto-inbraakcijfers over the past ten years. From november to march there are 20 percent more side windows ingemept.

The stated cause? Simple: it’s longer dark, what the proletariat more time to unseen strike and your sacred cow empty claws.

Carglass warns even that car thieves is increasingly a bluetooth sniffer to use gadgets in cars such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops to track. Ergo: always have your bluetooth off, should you change your hardware in the car.

In the following table you can see where the chance to auto-break is the greatest. North Holland tightens the crown, followed by the provinces of Utrecht and South Holland. In the province of Drenthe, Zeeland and Friesland the opportunity to autokraak the smallest, as appears from the figures of the CBS.
