Apparently many car keys are now being taken from houses using the snap lock method. I wasn't aware of this but many houses now have a Eurolock system especially if UPVC doors. These can be broken into, quietly, within 20-30 seconds as they have an inherent fault.
By chance I replaced my lock a year ago and on checking my receipt, I see I replaced it with the recommended securer version.
Keyless entry cars, of course, are still being stolen by the laptop and scanner methods which you can buy from Ebay for not a lot of money. And the same place sells, for not a lot, a transmitter that you plug into cigarette lighter which blocks GPS and SIMs.
We seem to have gone full circle on security from the Fords and Vauxhalls of the 80s that were easier to open with a screwdriver than the key.
I wonder how long before we start to see cars with Krooklocks, disklocks and HT leads being removed!
