NBC10&#8217;s Johnny Archer has the story.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Now, police tell NBC10 Responds that more than 8,124 vehicles have been stolen in Philadelphia so far this year as of Tuesday, July 28. Nearly one-quarter of those stolen vehicles were Hondas.<\/p>\n<p>NBC10 Responds asked Honda what tools are available to help owners better protect their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Vehicle theft is a complex issue affecting many automakers and is not unique to Honda. Our vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art security features designed to deter theft and protect our customers,&#8221; the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Honda said some owners may be able to add anti-theft features <a href=\"https:\/\/mygarage.honda.com\/s\/hondalink-marketing\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mygarage.honda.com\/s\/hondalink-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">through HondaLink<\/a>, depending on their vehicle&#8217;s model and year.<\/p>\n<p>Available features may include a stolen vehicle locator with immobilization, which can help authorities track and recover a stolen vehicle.

After that, it costs $10 a month or $110 a year.<\/p>\n<p>This story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC Philadelphia.
