Good on them, at least they are aware of what is going on and prepared to try to do something about it First time FFRR owner |

Not really as far as the Police are concerned, there is virtually nothing they can do to prevent your car being stolen. Still, as you and others have said they are being active now. The whole crime situation would be a lot better if there were more and highly visible Police cars on the roads. |

The assumption being that car thieves will dutifully pull in when motioned to do so by the rozzers?

I'm not sure what you are advocating to be the correct police action there Stuart? The police shouldn't bother stopping cars because thieves wouldn't stop... the Daily mail readers would be apoplectic First time FFRR owner |

I don’t think Plod will expect the thieves to put their hands up and utter the words ‘it’s a fair cop’

Nothing they can do about the initial theft, but more could be done on prevention and action after reporting of said theft.

Hi, it's more of a tactic, if word gets around the Sweeney are tugging Range Rovers then maybe it'll have an effect.

I still reckon Mr bean had the right idea, just remove the steering wheel. |

^^ My first registered car was a 1938 Vauxhall Model J 14hp. The door locks didn’t work so to protect it, I would put it into reverse and remove the gearlever (it was retained by a bayonet connection like a light bulb - not screw-in like the USA). Then I locked the gearlever in the boot. Ron B. VK2OTC

Late 1960s my Dad had a Vauxhall Viva HA series. Driving around Ironbridge one day the gear stick snapped leaving a tiny stub. Luckily he had a pair of locking grips in his tool box in the boot of the car.

Actually Rover had a great idea they used on their 800 series rovers. Now I'm not sure their reason behind it and what the their intentions were for fitting it on the driver's seat but I'm sure it would work very well if fitted on the cars of today.
