Yoof of today would never get it started. A good few years ago I woke up to something that I thought was my car starting. Turned out it was but the idiots hadn’t pulled the choke out so it kept stopping every couple of yards.If you want an easy car to steal, take a look at an old Landie. Mine (like many) has a fabric roof. But you don’t even need a pen-knife to get in. You just untie the rope! Comical. The insurers asked what security it had, so I said ‘a piece of thick string’. That seemed to satisfy them, as the insurance is buttons.
(Though it probably helps that it’s in a gated complex with 24hr security guards, monitored entry/exit points and CCTV.)
Anyway, the fact that RR theft rates are down to 0.07% has to be a good thing. Maybe the thiefs have cottoned on to all the internet stories about JLR unreliability, so have moved on to stealing Porsches. Oh. No, hang on…
