Stolen tools are often on-sold through online marketplaces, and tradies often know what to look for.

That information can make a real difference.

If you’ve got information, report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers Victoria on 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppersvic.com.au.

It helps police identify offenders, hold them to account and return tools to the right owners.

Thieves don’t need your keys. They break in, plug into your OBD port, and drive off.

To block access, install an OBD port lock.

Other ways you can slow them down include:
⛔ Steering wheel lock = a visible deterrent
⛔ Faraday pouch = added protection at home
