With over one million vehicle thefts in the United States, the highest in nearly two decades, Mayor Eric Adams has suggested using Apple AirTags to help track stolen cars.<\/p>\n<h3>How AirTags Can Help<\/h3>\n<p>AirTags are small, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-asks-residents-to-put-apple-airtags-in-their-cars-as-vehicle-theft-soars\/\" title=\"New York Asks Residents To Put Apple AirTags In Their Cars As Vehicle Theft Soars\">disk-shaped devices<\/a> that attach to keys, bikes, and other items.

NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey has confirmed that officers will use drones and conventional police work to recover stolen cars with the aid of the AirTag.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Get AirTags<\/h3>\n<p>AirTags are available for purchase at $29 and require battery replacement once per year. However, the Association for a Better New York has donated 500 AirTags for residents, and the city is working with corporate partners to increase access to the technology.<\/p>\n<h3>Why You Should Protect Your Car<\/h3>\n<p>Your car is a significant investment that you use for many different reasons, from getting to work to taking your children to school. With a 23% increase in vehicle thefts between 2021 and 2022 in New York state, it&#8217;s crucial to take steps to protect your vehicle.<\/p>\n<h3>Hold Companies Accountable<\/h3>\n<p>Thieves have particularly targeted certain Kia and Hyundai vehicles, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/car-thefts-in-america-reach-highest-level-in-over-a-decade-analysis-finds\/\" title=\"Car Thefts In America Reach Highest Level In Over A Decade, Analysis Finds\">lack electronic immobilizers<\/a> that prevent criminals from bypassing the ignition in cars manufactured by other companies. New York City officials have asserted that the increases in Kia and Hyundai thefts are attributable to the companies turning a \u201cblind eye\u201d to the vulnerability. Mayor Adams has promised to hold Kia and Hyundai accountable for the public nuisance they\u2019ve created and protect New Yorkers\u2019 cars.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Police Department is on a mission to keep your ride safe!
