March Is Auto Theft Prevention Month At AutoNation USA

    DALLAS, Feb. 26 -- AutoNation USA, America's used vehicle
megastore, is partnering with state and local authorities to display vehicle
theft prevention techniques and protection devices during March at its Dallas,
Lewisville, Grand Prairie and Irving stores.  With a vehicle being stolen
every five minutes in Texas, the state ranks second nationally in car theft.
Car owners must be savvy of the prevention products available if they are to
hold on to their vehicles.
    Representatives from the Texas ATPA (Automobile Theft Prevention
Authority) will be at AutoNation USA megastores during designated times with a
20 foot exhibit trailer, equipped with sample auto theft prevention devices.
LoJack Corporation will be demonstrating the Stolen Vehicle Police Recovery
System, which is operational in 40 of the Metroplex Police Departments.
H.E.A.T. (Help End Auto Theft) program registration will be conducted by local
law enforcement agencies on site, and free SafeLite Auto Glass window etching
certificates for stenciling vehicle identification numbers will be given away
to all H.E.A.T. registrants.   During the month of March, guests may register
to win a LoJack Stolen Vehicle Police Recovery System, suggested retail price
of $595, including installation.
