No matter how technology evolves, thieves will always find something worth stealing in our cars and bikes. If it isn't the vehicles themselves, thieves will target valuable parts that can either be flipped for cash or scrapped for their metal. If before, catalytic converters were the subject of interest, this time around it’s something else – something that’s much easier to get to if you’re not careful.
Electric vehicles are growing in number and getting more and more high-tech, as more and more people buy electric cars and motorbikes each and every day. While you may be thinking that your precious EV is safe from the hands of thieves, as the motor and batteries are concealed under layers of bodywork, and for cars, the batteries tend to be really, really, heavy, well think again. A report by NBC Los Angeles reveals that electric vehicle charging cables are now the subject of theft.
