Vehicle theft is seen as occurring almost on daily basis. From the survey carried out for this research, over 90 percent of respondents testified to its existence. This research took a closer look at collaborations of Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority and the Security Services in combating this crime. It also sought the readiness of vehicle owners, DVLA and Ghana Police Service to embrace technology integration. A critical look at vehicle security in terms of its theft related problems, the integration of GSM/SMS technology into the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority Registration Database, making it easily accessible by the Security Services like the Ghana Police Service for quick and easy verification of driver or vehicle license status as well as the genuineness in relation to the ownership, in the fight against vehicle theft is very vital. Security personnel can send an SMS to the proposed system and instantly get reply containing significant particulars of the Vehicle and the owner.
