With their beautiful yet robust looking lines and instantly recognisable shape Land Rover cars are among the most iconic vehicles ever produced with a pedigree that goes back to 1948 and the car is understandably on many people’s dream wish list. Land Rover’s New Discovery and Discovery Sport are set to be among the sought-after vehicles of 2017. Regrettably however, there are people out there as eager to deprive you of it as you are to keep it. Two years the Guardian newspaper reported ago that ‘the number of cars stolen in England and Wales rose by 9% in 2015, with 75,656 incidents reported by unlucky motorists’ going on to say that the Land Rover Defender is one of the top three stolen cars . See Is your car the most stolen model in England and Wales?

The report continued ‘The surge in thefts of Land Rover Defenders prompted the insurer NFU Mutual, which focuses on farmers, to urge owners in April to be more security savvy. Claims from its customers following thefts of Defenders rose to £1.8m in 2015, an increase of 8% over 2014’. Dr Ken German, a director at the International Association of Auto Theft Investigators pointed out that since “most don’t have the security systems that come as standard on modern cars, you can see the attraction for criminals.”

21^st century car thieves need 21^st century technology to challenge and slash the thieves’ chance of success and that comes in the shape of a car tracker. With GPS/GPRS VHF satellite capacity these Thatcham Cat 5 or 6 accredited car trackers which are carefully hidden in the most undetectable parts of the car will track its every move and instantly communicate with the control centre and police should a thief attempt to steal and drive away in it.
