Gone in 40 seconds!

And the key was apparently in a faraday pouch.

Security is going backwards, it took longer to nick a vauxhall nova back in the day and the ignition came on by turning the hazard light switch upside down Rolling Eyes

It can't be long before the insurance companies start refusing to insure them surely. Current

The thing is though, as its a Range Rover it will probably break down 10 minutes later!

On the plus side, Which? was unable to default the latest JLR products, unlike all other manufacturer's tested.

They had a 2014 RRS stolen.. there is no way a faraday bag was defeated, they were not using it or they had not closed it, simple as that. Ultimately its our insurance costs that suffer.

You have to wonder in this instance whether or not the car keys were in the "correct" compartment of the faraday pouch.

Looking at their MO, it's tempting to set up a Home Alone (TM) style tar n feathers arrangement above ones front door. Triggering via the car's alarm would save manual effort.

Of course the owners may have had the other set of keys stored somewhere else in the house without protection. David

Please let me know if my comments upset you, I may wish to upset you again.

I think they have misrepresented this as a theft in this way... Watch the video and you will see the alarm/hazard lights flash whilst its being stolen! I would guess they have broken in through the passenger door lock hence the alarm activation...
