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

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
