No Nonsense Anti-Motorcycle Theft Solution from Project Overlord

In movies, you usually see the actor jumping onto the motorcycle after pushing someone off or breaking the steering column and hot-wiring the the bike to start the engine. Finally, you see the thief get away with the motorcycle without any kind of difficulty. What’s to separate reality from the movies? Those two means of theft are extremely similar to reality and both result in a stolen bike. It’s pretty obvious that motorcycle theft is becoming more and more rampant these days.




The reasons behind the rising incidence of motorcycle theft are varied. Some attribute it to the increasing complexity of the latest vehicle anti-theft devices, which requires more skills and sophisticated techniques to disable, whereas others say it is just plain easy to steal, sell, and hide a bike, and it is undoubtedly a lucrative business. Seeing your hard-earned Harley Davidson motorcycle go missing is indeed an extremely heartbreaking sight. 


What you need is a no-nonsense, anti-theft solution that works in tandem with your motorcycle’s daily functions. A maverick team of motorcycle safety experts based in Washington claims that they have the answer to this pressing problem. “The inadequacy of the existing anti-theft devices for motorcycles and its riders is evident from the rising number of theft incidents around the world. We at Project Overlord have developed an innovative device that stops theft right in its track,” said Aaron Wilson, an anti-theft expert at Project Overlord. 






According to a source at Project Overlord, this new anti-theft device is comprised of a network of motion sensors and transmission devices that will set in motion a series of actions like setting off alarms, alerting the owner via mobile phone, sending alerts to the police at the very moment an attempt is made to steal the motorcycle.Even if the thief manages to steal the motorcycle this device will help you track it via GPS for recovery. This patent pending electronic anti-theft device is surely a head turner in the motorcycle industry and is all set to push the trend of bike theft into oblivion.

Shortcomings of the Existing Automotive Security Systems and The New Solution

The Rising Need for a Reassessment of Automotive Security Systems

According to a survey, 721,053 vehicles have been stolen in 2012 alone, at the rate of one car every 44 seconds. This trend is only rising in spite of the innovations in the automotive security industry. This calls for a thorough re-assessment of our existing automotive security systems. As vehicle anti-theft devices became more sophisticated over the last few years, a new trend of car-theft is gaining popularity- wheel-theft. You must check if your existing anti-theft devices cover the wheels as well.


The Existing Layers of Protection in your Car

The first layer of protection in your car, is the in-built alarm system, which goes off whenever someone tries to break into your car. It does indeed act as a deterrent to prevent your car from being stolen, but an experienced car thief may have the required equipment to disable the alarm and get away with your car.

The next layer would be the steering wheel locking and brake locking mechanism. Although these make it more difficult for the thieves to get away with your car, they can still get rid of the locks in a matter of a minute or two using simple tools like a knife or a saw. You can only delay the car theft using the locking systems, but not prevent them from taking your car.

You may even install the latest GPS tracking device in your car, but it is of no use when it comes to wheel theft. All the above security mechanisms have some deterrence against car theft, but not against wheel theft. With the advent of the pricier alloy wheels, there is a huge rise in the number of wheel theft cases in the United States.

An Innovative Solution to the Wheel Theft Menace

 

The maverick automotive security initiative named Project Overlord has introduced an innovative technology into the anti-theft systems industry. Their patent-pending anti-theft device claims to cover all parts of the car including the wheels. The very moment someone interferes with your vehicle, especially the wheels, the device will alert you immediately. Unlike the existing anti-theft devices, this technology provides effective rim protection.
