National Insurance Crime Bureau advises people to stay alert to potential criminal activity. National Insurance Crime Bureau Warns That Thieves Don't Rest Due to Snow or Cold Those looking to run out and go snowmobiling one more time should be aware that snowmobile thefts have remained steady from 2019 to 2020. A report from the NICB shows that about 58% of snowmobiles reported stolen during this two-year period have not been recovered. Protecting your snowmobile takes only a few common-sense steps. If you are not using your snowmobile, remove the keys and take them with you. Keep your snowmobile in a locked location such as a garage or yard shed. If you have a snowmobile trailer, keep it stored separately from your snowmobile. If you store them together, install a trailer hitch locking device preventing it from being connected to another vehicle. Lastly, keep its registration up to date.
