‘Keyless’ vehicle thefts*
According to the crime prevention, In spite of all this good news about car crime, in January 2015, the Metropolitan Police in London reported that there had been an 8% increase in vehicle theft across London in the previous year, believed to be the result of organised criminals increasingly targeting keyless or remotely controlled vehicles.
During 2014 over 6,000 cars and vans across London were stolen without the owners’ keys - an average of 17 vehicles a day representing 42% of all thefts of cars and vans.
The majority of such thefts appear to be the result of organised criminals using key-programming devices to create duplicate keys for vehicles, but it can include towing vehicles away.
Thieves use a device which ‘reads’ the vehicle’s electronic information off the key as the owner uses it, or they break into the vehicle and connect a device to the OBD port, downloading the vehicle’s information onto a blank key in a matter of seconds. The new key is then compatible with the vehicle, so it disables the alarm and the vehicle can simply be driven away.
The vehicles are targeted based on the desirability of their parts and range from prestige cars to vans.
Intelligence suggests activity peaks between 2200hrs and 0400hrs, Sundays to Thursdays. The vehicles are then taken to the Home Counties, where most are stripped down into their component parts and then shipped abroad.
Vehicles owners can find information and advice about keyless vehicle theft on the Metropolitan Police website page.
As with reducing theft from vehicles you can do things to make your vehicle less attractive to the thief and reduce the opportunities for it to be stolen.
The Crime Prevention Advice:
If yours is an older vehicle, without an electronic immobiliser, you should at least use a physical immobiliser, such as a steering wheel lock etc..
Crime Watch Road Show advice:
Most new cars are fitted as standard with an immobiliser. If you have an older car, consider having one retro-fitted or use a mechanical immobiliser, locked across the steering wheel to prevent it turning.
