Some possible objections
Many vehicle owners may have objections to the Brand-A-Car system. They may ask, will thieves just smash the windows and replace them? According to Brand-A-Car, all Christchurch windscreen companies, spare parts departments
and motor vehicle dealers know about the system. It also costs about $BOO to replace the two windscreens. This is in itself a deterrent. Some people may say that it does not matter if their vehicle is stolen because it is insured. Unfortunately, the increas-
ing numbers of stolen vehicles is adding significantly, to the cost of insurance premiums. Anyone who has had a vehicle stolen knows that considerable ’ inconvenience and frustration follows. Owners may also ask if
car theives know about Brand-A-Car and avoid branded vehicles. Owing to the extensive advertising and the increasing nationwide use of Brand-A-Car, thieves recognise that it is much easier to resell a vehicle that is not branded.
