PA Auto Theft Prevention Authority is a Pennsylvania government body established by the General Assembly in 1994 to coordinate and fund efforts to prevent, combat, and reduce automobile theft. Its work centers on strengthening enforcement, administration, prosecution, and public education as part of a comprehensive anti-theft strategy. Funding comes from annual assessments paid by about 400 auto insurers operating in Pennsylvania, rather than tax dollars. The authority operates from Mechanicsburg and collaborates with the insurance industry, law enforcement, and citizens. Since its inception, auto theft rates in Pennsylvania have fallen by about 71%. In September 2023, the Watchyourcar program partnered with Cartown Kia Florence to address a surge in Kia thefts, coordinating with the state police auto theft unit and Kia USA to distribute steering wheel locks.
