The Battle Against Car Theft in the UK
The battle against car theft in the UK has become increasingly challenging due to the rise of keyless car hacking equipment. Criminals are now wise to the vulnerabilities in modern vehicle technology, allowing them to exploit these vulnerabilities and steal cars with ease.
With an incredible 25% rise in vehicle thefts from 2021 to 2022, the Government is currently working on plans to make the sale, purchase and possession of keyless repeaters, signal jammers and other hacking technology illegal in the UK.
The Most Stolen Cars in the UKReports indicate that the most commonly stolen car models come from manufacturers such as Land Rover, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.
In 2022, Ford Fiesta’s took the top spot with a ridiculous 5,979 being stolen throughout the year - the equivalent of one being stolen every 88 minutes. This was closely followed by Land Rovers, with the DVLA reporting that one in every hundred Land Rovers were reported stolen in the year ending March 2023.
