Trace, Track, get my car back

Just caught the tail end of it where they featured a stolen RAV4. It is available on BBC iPlayer if anyone is interested.

Mines still on the front with its hi viz Milenco steering wheel lock available to see, and a Rio right behind it 😂

Where is it on Iplayer please cannot find it. I note that Scorpion now produce a canbus blocker, and also sell an immobiliser similar to the GHOST unit.


PS found it, the tv verbal search located it. Now in my Watchlist.

We had the CanBus blocker fitted on the Lexus and the tracker was supplied by Lexus. In addition, the big yellows stop lock which we have on both cars.

Yes a great watch, especially the pneumatic compressor, fount in the Back of beyond storage site, not the caravan site..

 

[Beachball]

Yes very interesting program will be watching more

Today I started watching it from episode 1. Apparently there is a car stolen every 8 minutes in the UK with the Fiesta top of the list. We thought our Yaris hybrid was low down on the list for stolen cars, but apparently the cars are stolen for the catalytic converter. Although we have the stop lock fitted, it may not stop them accessing the catalytic convertor.

Can you buy a Yaris catalyser shield? Although then the rest of the exhaust system could be hacked off. Not a problem for an EV 🙈

Apparently catalytic converter thefts have dropped by 98% over the last 3 years - it seems the crims are now targetting EV charging cables https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/368065/britains-catalytic-converter-theft-epidemic-nearly-over

Found out yesterday that there is no need as nearly impossible to access the cat on the Yaris.
