A car is not a luxury, but an object of hijacking. So or about like this paraphrase the winged expression of those who prefer not to buy cars, but to steal them from lucky owners. And the most amazing thing is that regardless of how carefully you picked up a complex of anti-theft means, to become a victim of hijackers is a chance for every car owner. Hijackers statistics stolen cars are not interested, but for each anti-theft tool can respond with their own crowbar, against which, as you know, there is no reception. And saving the swallows from the tenacious paws of home-grown hijackers, who are not allowed to sleep peacefully the glory of the hero Nicolas Cage from the film "Drive away in 60 seconds," falls on your fragile shoulders. "I got stolen from the car - what to do? !!" This almost classical statement of the question every 10 seconds gives one person in the world. And the income from the hijack business is more than 21 billion dollars a year. Stunning statistics! You can continue to give such facts, one more interesting than another. But if for statistics your car is an inanimate unit of theft, then for you - stolen property. And with its loss you need to do something. So, breathe in deeper - you have stolen a car!
Hijacking hijacking strife
You, as a victim, should not be tooI wonder what type of hijacking your case belongs to. But it is from what of the existing five types of the theft of cars it relates to, the further fate of your car depends greatly:
- Auto "on the organs." More precisely, for spare parts. Surprisingly, this is the rarest kind of theft. This is more likely a convenient excuse for police officers who are tired of looking for your car. And it's easier to arrange for you an illustrative narrative with mythical statistics. Do not give in: a rare hijacker will get involved with the alarm and other anti-theft devices in order to start the car on the part.
- Guidance. Pli! This type of theft has become a favorite for numerous intermediary firms that sell cars from the manufacturer. The scheme is quite simple. When the documents are issued, the employees of the company receive your home address and make an impression from the key. As soon as your car is delivered to the address of your residence permit, it is taken away. And not somewhere, but to a new buyer, with clean documents. After all, a car dealer employee is involved in the theft. And it's good if the car was found quickly; and if not - you can forget about your new thing. To prove a criminal conspiracy in this case is very difficult. True, this scheme works for about a week after you purchase a car.
- Dangerous tour. This term refers to the hijacking committed by visitors. Remark: "Come on!" Is better to be omitted. If your car was hijacked by guest touring, then it will be very difficult to find it. Counterfeit documents from nimble comrades are always at hand, and traffic police officers are not distinguished by holiness. They take bribes, but they do not mind the power. And your swallow has already crossed the border of the participative state. And this is at best. In the worst, hijackers can make armed raids on your car. And it will simply be destroyed, as unnecessary evidence.
- Auto or purse? Often the car is hijacked for the sake of ransom, and in this case you have a chance to regain your favorite means of transportation. True, by default you have to accept that you still have to pay. Private detective, discovering that the zeal of the valiant police officers leaves much to be desired, or the bandits themselves.
What if the car was stolen from a parking lot or from a locked garage? On the correctness of your actions will depend on whether the machine will return to its legal owner, and how soon it will happen. 
In hot pursuit"
Once you find that the parking lot,where your car should be, is empty - dial 02. The numbers familiar to us from the very childhood, in this situation can bring real help. True, if the dispatcher does not begin to refer to the lack of free machines, instead of sending the outfit to the call. Just do not need to immediately hit the tears. Demand, you have the right, your conversation is recorded, and, as a conscientious taxpayer, you can count on the fact that your call is not allowed to be ignored. But remember, they will call your so-called "interception" according to your call, depending on how long it has been since theft. If you left the car in the parking lot in the evening, and only missed it in the morning, there will be nothing to "intercept". Most likely, the hijackers hid your car in a safe place, and on the road it can be seen only when the "passions" on the search fall. If, nevertheless, your car gave you signs, or you yourself checked periodically, in the place of your car, this can simplify the search and establish the exact time when the hijacking was committed. The next thing to take care of is a written statement to the police. And try to calm down, gather your thoughts and remember all possible details, ranging from seemingly insignificant trifles to your own suspicions. Emotions here will not help, but the concentration will be exactly what criminals expect of you least. In communication with representatives of law enforcement agencies, try to avoid imperative moods. No matter how much you want to flare up and "press", do not do it. It may happen that the operative will ask you to temporarily take the application and give him the opportunity to check the hijackers through his channels. In no case should not you refuse! On the level ground, he does not offer this to you. And if you heard this proposal, then the operative has, as they say, a trace. And do not neglect his professional flair. It may be that your beautiful woman will be returned in a few hours. And if necessary, you will write a statement. You remember that your call at 02 was recorded on tape. Recall that the so-called active search for your car is conducted for 2 months, and then the case is suspended and turns into another unsolved crime. Although the orientation of your car is for all employees of the patrol and guard service, do not have to rely on their lightness and wait 2 months, continue to act!
My relatives are my wealth
Do not relax, leaving a statement in the police. Your car is necessary first of all to you, so you need to move on to active activities. You can take as a model the activity of presidential candidates during the election campaign. Type outlines with descriptions of the distinctive features of your machine. The more details, the better. Everything, from scratches on the bumper to the engine number, is described with special care on A4 sheets. Effective searches need at least a thousand copies. Hand out leaflets to friends, relatives, coworkers. Take advantage of the fact that you are sympathetic until you have such an opportunity. Let them pass out to passers-by, bring them to the nearby police stations, post them on poles and stops. Who knows, maybe you'll be lucky.
Look for firemen ...
Another recommendation from the category of illogical, onfirst glance, actions. But you are a woman, you can do anything. Immediately after the theft, look among your friends or acquaintances of your firefighter friends. And with him, inspect the nearby garages. Firefighters have the right to inspect suspicious garages. And they will not even need a sanction to search private property. But to do all this is only if you suspect that a stolen vehicle (on the orientation of a police officer, for example), is in your area.
We take off the laurels of Pinkerton
Finding a car on your own - a thing enoughcomplex. You can, of course, rely on the quickness of the police, but it is best to try and search for evidence. Accompanied by a man, go around the grassy places, located next to the parking lot or garage, from where the car was stolen. Homeless, mothers on playgrounds, grandmothers-old women, like sparrows hanging benches at the entrances, can give as much useful information that policemen do not dare dream about. Any detail is important to you. The slightest detail. It can lead you to your car. It is not superfluous to bypass the nearest car market. If your car is decided to sell because of the hype you created, criminals can do it only through the car market. But in any case, do not approach the car, if you find it. Call a police squad. No car is worth your health and safety. The more people find out about your loss, the better. You can advertise with a description of what will take your car on a local TV channel or radio. With your phone number. By the way, the fact that you do not calm down and continue to look for a stolen car can make criminals abandon their initial plans and call you with a proposal to buy your car. For a certain percentage of the cost. The main thing is to understand in time that the hijackers called you, because the direct question: "Do not want to redeem your car?" You will not hear from any professional. And the amateur policeman would be caught without your diligence. 
You did not lose the dog?
Almost with absolute certainty, you cansay that sooner or later this question will be heard in the telephone receiver. The main thing to understand is that it's not about the missing dog, but about your car. It became too hot goods. And now only a blind, deaf, dumb sailor of distant voyage will decide to buy it. All your actions were correct, and all the measures taken led to the fact that the criminals decided, let not free of charge, to return the car to the legal owner. Do not rush to rejoice. Immediately to agree it does not turn out. First, you need to make sure that you are not the victim of another fraud. And secondly, criminals always work on the same scheme worked out to detail. You will be assigned the first meeting. It is best to send her husband, brother or friend. But keep in mind that all the negotiations he will have to lead himself, if you do not have such an opportunity. Before the meeting try to protect yourself as much as possible. Call your girlfriend, tell us where you are going, turn the phone into a talk mode. To the girlfriend heard what is happening to you. It is not necessary that something will happen to you, but it is better to insure yourself as much as possible. Alone, you can only go to the first meeting, all further negotiations must take place in the presence of someone who can protect you. At this stage of the negotiations, too, there are some small tricks. Bargain to the last. Imagine that you are at the poker table and your task is to win. The answer to any threat should be the end of the negotiations. Life is more expensive. If you insured the car, the insurance will cover everything. To do this, the police need to take a certificate that a criminal case has been initiated in connection with the loss of your car and provide it to the insurance company. In the event that your car is not found, the company will be obliged to reimburse the amount of the insurance. Suppose you managed to agree. You were offered to redeem your car. It's a shame, do not argue, although the ransom and can not be compared to the real value of the machine. You do not want to pay again for the thing that belongs to you. And you face a choice, pay or surrender criminals. The second option is much more dangerous than it might seem at first glance. In order to prove the guilt of the hijackers, the valiant policemen must make their call at the time of the transfer of the car. And criminals, and this is a well-known fact, try to choose a day off or a holiday for a "deal". So, you have few chances to get real help from the police and, perhaps, you will have to pay. If the car was stolen, what should I do and what should I do to return it as soon as possible? Success depends on your concentration and stability before difficult life situations. And we would very much like this article to become a mere cognitive "criminal reading". And would never become for you a real life situation. We advise you to read:
