Living in SA I also read the above article and it goes in to a detailed explanation
of the whole Industry and It is an Industry in my parts.... The latest is the remote jamming method and Business is Good at the moment.. I do however feel that the 8's are less easy to Steal.... But are more Desirable.. Just for a little more Peace of mind I will be fitting a Tracker shortly... And I can't decide wether I want the Tracker more for keeping an eye on The S whilst in the hands of the Workshops that work on her.... Or for the Theft Angle...

far as I'm aware nearly all car theft now is through breaking into house/office/etc and stealing the keys.
Houses are far easier to break into than most modern cars. |

You boy's live in a beautiful country but we don’t have the hijacking issue so bad, I suppose you don’t have our winters.

So basically a plain screwdriver hex bit? Or longer?
Here I do believe stealing keys is the preferred option for most tea-leaves unless the car pre-dates immobiliser technology No specialist kit required and less likely to get banged up if stopped in the street by plod as difficult to prove they're going equipped.... |

It was just like a blank key blade

You could disconnect the battery every night that would give them a surprise.
Or one of those steering wheel locks. I thought about making a gas pedal lock with a wedge of wood and some sort of padlock, that would give them a nice surprise. |

Hidden switches work well. Hercon( I think that's what they are called) switches hidden under any surface work well. Normally it is open but if you put magnet near it it closes. You just need to know where it is and put a small magnet next to it. Without it -no start.

One of my old mk2 cortinas had a switch hidden under the rear seat that you could reach from the drivers seat that earthed the lt side of the coil so it wouldn't start but would crank all day long - saved it from being stolen twice when I lived in birmingham and came back to find both physical locks overcome and the door open/ignition on....
