Yeah - as many things to make it difficult I'd say - they might be able to get around one or two or all of them but each hurdle makes it more difficult.

A cheap pouch from eBay stops this. Everyone with keyless entry keys needs to get one.

Depends

Do you have to press a button to unlock ? If so it's safer than the proximity keys that unlock as you approach the vehicle

However either way once in the car they can access the system and program it to accept a new key to start it


Things have progressed from using a crooklock to deter theft

Yes I have to press a button to unlock

Have you called the police and reported it as stolen? You also need to Call Land Rover UK and provide them with the VIN number just incase they try to sell it or change the number plates and pass it off as something different.
Worked on a government project aimed at reducing car theft many years ago. This was high end stuff, where they cloned vin numbers so essentially when the RHD BM/Jag/Land/Range Rover was shipped to the Gulf it was not reported as stolen as it went with plates and VIN number from a car not reported as stolen. Not sure if this is still the MO of upmarket crims.

I just wanted to bring to your attention, some time ago a friend of mine who lives near ryedale told me about an incident that happened to their neighbour.

Basically someone trying to steal the wheels off their car, came one night & loosened all the nuts on all of the wheels in preparation to steal them the following night.

I'm guessing the plan was to put the car onto bricks & take the wheels.


Thankfully somehow they noticed..., as it could've costed them their lives!


Tbh I don't check my wheels before I drive off but considering the crime rate currently & we know it'll get worse it may be something worth considering

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
