When and Where to Watch for Car Thieves when SHTF

Date:

If you’re planning to bug out when SHTF, you’re going to need reliable transportation, and for many of us that means a car or truck. However, in the chaos that ensues during a major disaster, car theft is a major threat.

Check out the graphic below, and remember to consider the likelihood of auto theft while forming a bug-out plan.
