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

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
