Lunar New Year is an important holiday, when many people return to their hometowns to reunite with their families. However, this is also the time when theft crimes, especially motorbike theft, are more active. According to records from the authorities, the situation of motorbike theft crimes is becoming very complicated, with increasingly sophisticated, reckless and organized methods of operation.
Traditional vehicle protection methods are no longer safe
In fact, the theft of motorbikes and electric vehicles often increases significantly at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year, although the authorities have stepped up propaganda work on the methods and tricks of theft crimes. According to VnExpress, global electric vehicle sales increased sharply in 2024, with an increase of 25.6% compared to the previous year. This increase has also led to an increase in demand for electric vehicles in Vietnam, which means that thieves may increasingly target this type of vehicle.
One of the main reasons for the increase in motorbike and electric vehicle theft during Tet is the high demand for used vehicles during this time. Especially during Tet, when people are busy preparing and participating in festival activities, negligence in managing personal property is more likely to occur. In big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where the population density is high, many serious motorbike thefts have occurred in areas with many tenants. Thieves often take advantage of the evening, when people are not at home, to break in and steal vehicles. The methods of this group of thieves are very sophisticated; they not only take advantage of the negligence of the vehicle owner but also use specialized tools to break the lock and open the vehicle.
Nowadays, traditional locking methods such as U-locks are becoming less effective in protecting motorbikes. Many thefts have proven that thieves can easily disable these types of locks with specialized tools such as hydraulic pliers in just a few seconds. Some criminals also use high-tech devices such as code scanners and code breakers to disable the vehicle's locking system. For electric vehicles, in addition to the above tricks, thieves can also use specialized devices to break the battery lock or cut the electric wires, making the vehicle unable to operate.
To minimize the risk of motorbike theft during the Tet holiday, it is extremely important to raise awareness and apply protective measures. People should park their motorbikes in places with security guards, equip them with quality anti-theft locks and not leave them in deserted or poorly lit places. In addition, it is necessary to apply high-tech solutions, such as advanced IoT technology, to help users manage and protect their motorbikes or electric vehicles anytime, anywhere.
