Car theft throughout the UK has been rising significantly over the last 6 years.

It’s no surprise to anyone that London is still home to some of the UK’s top vehicle theft hotspots.

Westminster is a London borough that is always prominent when it comes to vehicle theft statistics.

As a result, insurance providers are urging motorists to install vehicle trackers in Westminster and surrounding boroughs.

With many residents not having off road parking and having to park on the street (sometimes quite a distance from their property), you can be particularly vulnerable to opportunistic thieves.

Combining this with the fact that Westminster has an above average number of high value vehicles parked on its streets it quickly becomes apparent why this area in particular is so appealing to car thieves.

This has meant insurance providers are stipulating that motorists must now install vehicle tracking devices in Greater London postcodes, in order to validate their insurance policy.

Although this has become very common very quickly, it’s possible that you haven’t needed to install one to your own vehicle before this year - meaning you don’t know where to start!

The good news is that Trackershop install insurance approved vehicle tracking device in every UK postcode.

The ADR is the most proactive protection against key theft and relay attack, as an instant alert is triggered in the Control Room is anyone other than you (and authorised drivers) start your ignition.

ADR AND RELAY ATTACK.

According to Tracker relay attack had been the cause of 92% of the car thefts that their control room helped to successfully recover last year.

Your ADR system is covert security, where you carry a small portable fob with you when driving your vehicle. This fob identifies you as the authorised driver of the vehicle. If a thief either instigates a relay attack or even steals your car key, an instant alert is triggered in the control room. They then contact you to confirm the status of the vehicle. If a theft is taking place they work directly with the police to intercept.

Thieves have been spoilt for choice using relay attack, and have been able to pluck off unassuming motorists vehicles quickly and silently without any kind of resistance.
