Most Stolen Vechicle

Post by Nicky P » Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:06 pm

Hi Guys,
According to the Yahoo report below, last year X5 was the most reported stolen vechicle in the UK. I may be sounding paranoid, but I've had my wheels stolen in the past, ever since had extra wheel locks fitted.

Approx delivery for my new X5 is back end of May, is it worth fitting extra locks, can anyone recommend any ?

Report is of dubious use as it is but one of many tracking companies and Tracker lost the BMW OEM Contract a while back. How many older cars still have active devices with current subscriptions? Never used this company. If the report covered all stolen cars then I doubt the X5 would still be at the top of the list.

With regards to wheel locks, the pros now probably have keys for most of the sets available so it may not be worth it. I have only ever used OEM or those from Alloy Wheels Direct.
