Tom Hartley explains why Range Rovers are stolen so frequently in London. He watched them disappear overnight from a location and says police confirmed the theft numbers are staggering. The vehicles have a specific vulnerability that makes them targets.
I interviewed Tom Hartley a while back. He was talking about what's the easiest car to nick?
The easiest car in the world to nick. In fact, you can't get one issue in a London night. And I was there with a friend and my wife would drive a new Raindrop and he had a new Range Rover and they were parked. When I come up next morning at 7 o', clock, I could only see one Wind Rover. So I said to my friend, I said, you know, you come down here with the ring door. He said, there's only one rain drawer outside. And he got. Nick, the policeman told me, when they come around to my house and I saw there's 120 cars he did in Central and Nick's door and 75% of.
The ring doors, they sorted it out.
They've done a thing called a BCM update. So basically, what a car thief will do is stand outside a window, your car emits a signal, because when you walk up to your car, your car magically opens by itself. It's a feature which you pay for. They have a device which literally thinks it's the key.
