Auto thefts in Washington dropped 38% last year (57% compared to 2023), but there’s still work to do. Thieves are shifting tactics. Vehicles once considered “unstealable” are now being quietly hacked with high-tech tools.

From relay attacks to silent digital tools, today’s thefts can happen without broken glass, loud alarms, or even a key.

Why it matters: Even with progress, Washington still ranks among the highest states for vehicle theft risk. Organized crews are using technology that can unlock and start certain vehicles in seconds.

What you can do today:
• Use a physical anti-theft device (steering wheel lock, brake lock).
• Park in well-lit, visible areas whenever possible.
• Don’t leave keys, fobs, or valuables in the vehicle, even for a moment.
• Consider a secondary kill switch or immobilizer for older models.
• Store key fobs in Faraday pouches when not in use.
• Report suspicious activity immediately. Quick reporting helps task forces recover vehicles faster.

WATPA continues to support law enforcement, task forces, and prevention programs statewide to stay ahead of evolving theft methods.
