Thieves everything loose and stuck to the car to steal, we are unfortunately already used to it. More interesting is the time at which to find gone; this turns out remarkably often on Monday night, before the weekly car-mart opens its doors.

The automobile markets in the Netherlands are a popular phenomenon, especially among traders from the former eastern Bloc and the Baltic states. The disappearance of the internal borders within Europe and a healthy spirit of entrepreneurship to do their work. Or all of the trading that occurred there place also fully legal, you can you are questioning.

Autoblog did a round of dealers and other parties involved in the car business, and guess what: many report a significant increase in theft of air bags, send (lamps?), chairs, sheet metal work (….) in the night of Monday to Tuesday in the past few months. One dealer even went over to the place of a steering lock in each car, because the airbags en masse disappeared.

What may be even more striking, is the lack of coverage about this in the local media. Where normally always reports of petty theft, we find this scarcely back. Either the question whether there was a connection between the automotive market and the increase of theft of car parts and complete cars are avoided, or the dealers have been wrong in their observation that from time to time, more is stolen.

If you are active in the auto industry and here is an opinion, confirming or ontkrachtend, then we heard this like. For all the potential victims, there is finally this guide is to prevent your wheels stolen.
