I find living in the Forest helps. Local knowledge identifies the culprit and they end up buried in an old mine shaft in the middle of the forest... Its just like living in the 1950s.. :roll:
2014 Tourneo Custom (6 seat) 2.2 200bhp
2014 Skoda Octavia vRS TDi 240/480

Cant say which one makes me grin more... Depends who I've just overtaken :twisted:

All vehicles are sitting ducks, this problem is not just limited to Fords.
The only way is bespoke personalised security, that way, the thieves are up against unknowns, which they may not have the equipment to deal with :idea:

1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)

One of the lads I know uses ratchet straps , hold both side and rear doors at night , parks the custom against the cottage driver side and climbs out the passenger and locks with the fob , stays at the road side and beside the river so quite a secluded bit , been a target before but never had any bother since
