Car theft, a crime as old as cars themselves, continues to plague society. Manufacturers hold the key to stopping this madness, yet they guard their secrets closely, fearing profit loss. In a shocking turn of events, over 64,000 cars were stolen last year alone, leaving a trail of chaos and financial burden in their wake. The vulnerability of modern cars to theft, highlighted by JLR's security issues, underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures.
While the BCM update has shown promise in thwarting relay hacking, thieves exploit the OBD port present in most cars since 2000, making theft a breeze. The repercussions of car theft extend beyond just financial loss, with insurance premiums skyrocketing due to increased claims. Manufacturers, on the other hand, profit from these thefts, creating a vicious cycle of loss for the common folk. It's high time for carmakers to prioritize security over profit and invest in robust anti-theft measures.
Luxury cars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis are not immune to the epidemic of car theft, with vulnerabilities in their systems leaving them exposed. The team's quest to find solutions to combat car crime is commendable, but the industry as a whole must step up to the challenge. Van theft, a lesser-known but equally devastating crime, wreaks havoc on tradespeople's livelihoods, leaving them stranded without tools to earn a living. Organized crime gangs profit immensely from car theft, with young members as involved as 13 years old, painting a grim picture of the situation. The ease with which thieves can order keys online using VIN numbers is a stark reminder of the urgent need for enhanced security measures across the board.
