Here’s a heads-up for car owners: According to the FBI, a car is stolen in the U.S. every 42 seconds. Roughly 750,000 vehicles, worth an estimated $4.5 billion, were reported stolen in 2010. Whether your stolen car is recovered or not, dealing with the theft is a frustrating, time-consuming experience.
It’s worth taking a few steps to protect your car from theft. You may even be able to get a discount on your car insurance in some states for having an anti-theft device in your vehicle.
How our anti-theft discount works
In some states, Nationwide offers anti-theft device discounts for factory-installed deterrents, and in some states, you can get a discount for devices that are installed after you purchase your car. Savings vary based on the type of device installed and the state where you garage your vehicle.

Such terms and availability may vary by state and exclusions may apply. Discounts may not be applied to all policy coverages.
