FIND OUT HOW A KEY-BAK RETRACTABLE KEYCHAIN MAY JUST PREVENT THE THEFT OF YOUR CAR OR TRUCK

Are you like many American and have a new car with a key fob? Maybe you park in your garage and leave your keys in the car because, well, why bother bringing them inside? And if you have a purse, those keys get dropped in when you’re ready to go and disappear out of sight and out of mind…you often may not know where those keys are. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The wonders of technology today with smart keys and smarter cars have introduced us to new pains we deal with every day and those aren’t without consequence. Forgetting to bring your keys with you can leave your car or truck vulnerable to theft.   Leaving your car idling as you run to drop off a delivery is even riskier.

Did you know over 200 vehicles are stolen every day in the U.S. because their keys or key fobs are left inside?

Here’s the scenario. You jump into your car or truck and drop your keys onto the passenger seat or center council, headed out for the day. Maybe you had parked in your garage and left them somewhere inside the whole time. When you get to your destination, you hop out and head on your way, forgetting to grab your keys and don’t notice the door doesn’t lock when you push the button on the handle. Has this ever happened to you? It probably has, and more often than you know.

Overall across the US, theft of cars and trucks is on the decline. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau1, vehicle thefts have been trending down for 26 years. Car makers are making it harder to steel a vehicle without keys. Antitheft programs and technology have advanced as well and in no small part have the efforts of police nation-wide benefited their communities.

This drop has lulled many into a false sense of security and there is a developing trend that every driver should be alarmed about. On average, over 200 vehicles are stolen every day in the US because keys or key fobs were left inside, a staggering 56% increase since 2015. That’s over 73,000 per year, and it’s totally preventable. If your keys are left visible to any passer-by, you might as well have left them in the door.

What many savvy people know is attaching their keys to a KEY-BAK retractable keychain helps ensure their keys are not left in a vehicle, ready to be stolen by a thief just passing by. With a KEY-BAK, your keys are always attached and secured so they cannot be left behind helping to prevent the theft of the vehicle.
