The vintage auto show organizers of Charlotte AutoFair Produced by Hornets Nest Region, AACA in Charlotte, NC, see a lot of sleek, beautiful machines every year, and they know that some people will go to any lengths to steal a car. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a car, truck, or motorcycle is stolen every 46 seconds across the country.

If your car is missing, it is important to consider all possible explanations before assuming it was stolen. Is there a chance it could have been towed or repossessed? Did you leave it at a bar or club and take a cab home after a night on the town? Or, maybe you thought you had parked in the airport’s west lot when you really parked in the east one? If you’ve run through all possible scenarios and are certain your car was stolen, it is time to call the police.

File a Police Report

When you call the police to report your stolen car, they are going to need specific details about the vehicle to file the police report. You will have to provide the vehicle identification number, registration information, and license plate number. An officer will then flag your vehicle in state and nationwide databases, making it harder for the thief to retitle or sell it to a third party.

Call Your Insurance Company

After you file the police report, it is important to call your insurance company. This is a critical step even if police manage to recover your vehicle later because your provider will protect you in case your car causes damage or injuries while the thief is driving it.
