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

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
