Putting the HEAT On Vehicle Thefts

Virginia State Police Help Eliminate Auto Theft (H.E.A.T.) Program: Find out how to protect yourself against auto and motorcycle theft by taking a few simple precautions. Using the "Layered Approach for Protection," as described in this video, makes your vehicle less attractive to auto thieves. The more layers of protection on your vehicle, the tougher it is to steal. The H.E.A.T. Program offers rewards of up to $25,000 for information about the theft of a vehicle or its parts. To be eligible for a reward, all you have to do is provide information that leads to an arrest for vehicle theft-related offenses, including the theft of vehicles (over 18,000 vehicles are stolen in Virginia each year) or their parts (in excess of 25,000 thefts of vehicle parts are reported annually). Go to www.heatreward.com or call the toll-free hotline 1-800-947-HEAT. You may remain anonymous and still collect a reward.
