- Call the police to file a report. They’ll likely add your information to national theft databases that will make it harder for the thief to sell or re-title your car.
- Give police the location of the theft, as well as a description of your vehicle and license plate number. If possible, include your vehicle identification (VIN) and registration numbers.
- Let police know if your vehicle has a device that helps track and recover a stolen vehicle through GPS. Popular services include LoJack®, OnStar® and Safety Connect®.
- Locate & secure your title. If your vehicle is leased or financed, also alert the lender or leasing company
