Car thefts put squeeze on insurance rates

“We are very pleased with the re-
sponse to the CAT program during its

The province-wide Combat Auto Theft
program marked its first birthday this
week with over 25,000 participants.

The CAT program was launched last
year by all British Columbia police de-
partments and detachments.

“The CAT program is one of the most
effective and simple ways to prevent au-
to theft,” says Const. Jan Vine of the
Vancouver Police Crime Prevention Unit.

“Program participants simply place a
CAT decal in the rear window of their ve-
hicle.

“The decal tells police the vehicle is
not normally operated between the
hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. An officer
spotting a vehicle being operated during
those hours will assume it has been

chus, a BCAA Senior Public Affairs Offi-

“We've had more than twice as many

participants sign up than we projected.”

Preventing auto thefts cans save

British Columbians money.
“Auto thefts cost B.C. motorists a lot
of money in claims and drive up insur-

ance costs,” says Kim King of ICBC.
“In the first six months of 1992, ICBC

paid out almost a million dollars a week

for theft-of-auto claims”, King said.
Partial funding for the CAT program is

provided by the B.C. government and

the Ministry of the Attorney General.
