How Land Rovers Are Stolen in the UK – And How a Tracker Can Help You Get Yours Back

Land Rover theft in the UK has increased dramatically over the past few years.

Criminals specifically target vehicles like the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender because they are valuable and easy to export overseas.

The worrying part?

Most thefts happen without any signs of forced entry.

A Typical Land Rover Theft

Your vehicle is parked outside your house overnight.

Inside the house, your keys are near the front door.

Around 2am, thieves walk up your driveway with a relay device that captures the signal from your key.

The vehicle thinks the key is present.

Within seconds:

The doors unlock.

The engine starts.

And your Land Rover is gone.

Most stolen vehicles are quickly moved to a hidden location where criminals wait to see if they have been reported stolen.

Without a tracker, the vehicle may be:

  • Shipped overseas

  • Broken down for parts

  • Sold using cloned registration plates

Many vehicles are never seen again.

What Happens When a Tracker Is Installed

Now imagine the same scenario.

The vehicle is stolen.

But this time it has a hidden tracking system installed.

Instead of losing the vehicle completely:

  • The system detects movement
  • Alerts are triggered
  • The vehicle location can be tracked
  • The remote immobilisation can be implemented
  • the back up tracker can still provide a location in the event that the primary tracker can't

This allows recovery teams or police to locate the vehicle quickly.

Many tracked vehicles are recovered within hours of the theft, before criminals have time to hide them.

The above scenario happened to a customer of ours, and because he had the Ultra LRD Track fitted, he managed to get it back. The back up was the one that saved the Range Rover in the end. before it got damaged, before it got stripped. This is the last line in defence, and is pretty much unique to LRD Track in the market place.
