Anti-Theft Zombie PSAs

This Lapd Zombie PSA Shows the Danger of Not Hiding Your Valuables

— December 4, 2013 — Pop Culture
The LAPD appear to be big fans of The Walking Dead, or are at least appealing to those fans not leave their valuables in their cars with a Zombie PSA.

Invasion of the Zombie Bandits preaches against the perils of leaving one's valuable items in plain sight inside their car, even if it's locked, because thieves can easily pick the locks and grab anything left inside, which has become a big enough problem in LA that zombies were brought in to illustrate the problem to viewers.

The Zombie PSA is as informative as it is amusing. It's never been smart to leave your iPad, GPS, cellphone, etc in the car, but if people weren't paying attention them, they certainly are now, especially if they are part of the growing zombie craze in film and television.
Trend Themes
1. Anti-theft Psas - Brands can appeal to pop culture fans and educate audiences on theft prevention by creating entertaining, zombie-themed anti-theft PSAs.
2. Lock Picking Prevention - Companies in the security industry can create and market products that offer effective lock picking prevention, helping to reduce the incidence of car theft in urban areas.
3. Zombie-themed Entertainment - Entertainment companies can offer zombie-themed experiences that raise awareness about theft prevention while also tapping into the popularity of the zombie craze.
Industry Implications
1. Security - Companies in the security industry can offer products and services that help reduce the risk of theft in urban areas, such as lock picking prevention solutions for vehicles.
2. Insurance - Insurance companies can create educational content centered around theft prevention in an effort to reduce claims related to stolen goods in vehicles.
3. Entertainment - Entertainment companies can explore zombie-themed experiences, marketing campaigns, and merchandise to capitalize on the popularity of the zombie craze while also raising awareness about theft prevention.
