Yes it certainly can.  A thief wants to get into your vehicle, start it, and drive off as quickly as possible.  As soon as a thief starts to make an entry, they are exposed.  A car cover takes a few minutes to remove, so the thief's exposure time is increased.  With so many cars uncovered, why would a thief want to increase the risk of being caught?  A cover also helps protect the contents of a vehicle.  When radios and other items are out of sight they are less likely to tempt a thief.To stop the car cover being stolen - Paint your name on the front of the car cover

A lock and cable accessory kit can help.  Best thing to do is put your name on the front of the cover.  The name works better than the license number.  

In general, always cover the front and rear bumpers as the last step.  If the cover has mirror pockets, place the pockets over the mirrors first.  If you have an old car you should cover the roof and windows first, and then the front and rear of the car.  On some coupes and roadsters made prior to 1932, you might be unable to install the cover at all if you start with the front or the rear bumper.

The easiest way I've found is the way we picture it in our instruction sheets.  Simply fold each side up onto the roof and refold it as necessary so the material ends up about 2 feet wide.  Then, starting at the front of the vehicle, fold the cover towards the back in increments of about 3 feet.  This way you don't drag the cover over the vehicles surface, and it's easy to reverse the process for installation.

If your vehicle is clean, it's a good way to dry the cover on a warm, dry day.  If it's an Autotecnica cover, as the temperature warms up, all the moisture will evaporate, since all of our fabrics are breathable.
