Airbag Thefts - The Thieves Are At It Again

Last year it was catalytic converters, this year it's airbags, and in particular Hondas seem to be the biggest target, but not the only target.

At our recent Paradise Community Association meeting, our Baltimore County Police community liaison officer talked about the recent increase in thefts of airbags and suggested that we buy a club and install it on our steering wheel. The club crosses the steering wheel, which makes it harder for would-be thieves to access the airbag quickly.  You could save yourself an expensive car repair with a $13 club from Amazon.

Be careful out there!!

Hello June... this is one I hadn't heard about. Those clubs remind me of the 1970's.

Thanks, June Piper-Brandon! It’s wild how thieves keep switching their targets. Your tip about the steering wheel club is a real lifesaver—who knew a $13 investment could save us from those pesky repair bills?

I have not heard of airbag thefts but am not surprised as they are so hard to replace.

John Pusa and Lew Corcoran isn't it amazing how much a $13 club from Amazon can save you?

Good evening June,

Well I haven't heard of this theft item that is on the thieves most wanted list now! A $13 item from Amazon makes perfect sense!

Hi June= I remember when every time I looked at my Nextdoor or Facebook apps, there were posts about catalytic converters being stolen. Now they're after the airbags!  That Club isn't a bad idea.

Wow, I had not heard about this, but that is not good at all.  I think that I have only had my vehicle broken into once, and it was when I was in college; they stole my stereo, haha.

Hi June:

I've not heard about air bags getting stolen but I suppose it should not be a surprise. Good to know there's an inexpensive deterrent.
