Sainsbury's Car Insurance warns against 'frosting'

With temperatures below zero in many parts of the UK, Sainsbury's Car Insurance has issued a warning to motorists about the danger of 'frosting', or having your car stolen while you de-ice it in the morning.

According to research conducted by the supermarket's car insurance division, as many as 15,000 motorists could become victims of frosting this winter, as many people leave their cars with the engines running on their way to work.

Sainsbury's Car Insurance said that improved security on many vehicles is forcing car thieves to become more opportunistic.

Joanne Mallon, Sainsbury's Car Insurance manager, admitted: "It may seem an unlikely crime."

However she added: "With sustained periods of low temperatures and the likelihood of having to defrost the car a couple of times a day, on the way to and from work, there is even more opportunity for the would-be car thief."

Recently the AA issued a warning to drivers to be extra careful during the winter months because of ice on the roads.
