When a steering wheel lock makes no difference

[Hayzee]

We've spent a lot of thought and discussion on this forum about protecting our cars from thieves stealing them.

Locally we're seeing a major surge in car vultures attacking vehicles in local train station car parks. The scumbags always have further depths to explore. CCTV has limited value it seems in these examples.

Of course this is 'stealing from', rather than stealing of .....

Unfortunately car cannibalism has actually been around for a number of years. Corsas seem to have been among the first to be affected - from 2013 !

This only shows what kind of creatures lives amongst us.
Catalytic converters theft, body parts, alloy wheels, steering wheels, everything. A fully functional car been destroyed so a salvage from a scrap yard could have a second life. This equals to have a human organ taken from a fit person and transplanted to a sick one. No further comment
