On 普通の／平均（する）, 16 Fiestas were stolen every day last year - or one every 88 minutes.

And there are major 関心s that Fiestas could be ますます的d in 2024 and the years after に引き続いて Ford's 最近の?決定／判定勝ち（する） to 中止する生産／産物 of the incredibly popular small car.

The final Fiesta （機の）カム off the Cologne 議会 line last summer, which 誘発する／引き起こすd 警告s from 乗り物罪，犯罪専門家s that it could 即時に become more 控訴，上告ing to 犯罪のs to steal and break 負かす／撃墜する into spares now that Ford is no longer making parts for the nation's most popular model.

The Ford Fiesta is? the most stolen car of 2023. Given it is the most ありふれたモーター on our roads, this won't come as a 抱擁する surprise. However, 乗り物窃盗専門家s have 警告するd it could become ますます的d by thieves over the coming years

'犯罪のs have been quick to jump on this 適切な時期, lucratively selling on stolen Ford Fiesta parts on the 黒人／ボイコット market,' Clive Wain, a former 探偵，刑事長，指導者 superintendent and now 長，率いる of police 連絡事務 at Tracker, told This is Money 以前.

John Wilmot, 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある of LeaseLoco, which 問題／発行するd the FOI for 乗り物窃盗 data to the DVLA, said: '論理（学）上, with より小数の new Fiestas on the roads, we might have 推定する／予想するd to see 窃盗s 落ちる last year.?

'However, Ford's 決定／判定勝ち（する） to discontinue the popular small hatchback could 井戸／弁護士席 have 誘発するd an 増加する in 需要・要求する for second-手渡す parts, making them a hot 的 for thieves.'

A 熟考する／考慮する by Go.Compare last year?設立する that almost half (48 per cent) of all UK police 軍隊s 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）d the Fiesta as the car most 一般的に報告（する）／憶測d stolen in their areas in 2022 - up from いっそう少なく than a third (30 per cent) in 2019.?

The Ford 焦点（を合わせる） (2,120 窃盗s, 負かす／撃墜する 3.0 per cent) and VW ゴルフ (2,038, up 0.1 per cent) - two other examples of 広範囲にわたって-owned models in Britain - 完全にするd the podium of most-nicked cars.

How 犯罪のs steal cars using relay 手段

Around half of all car 窃盗s in the UK today are carried out using relay attacks on keyless cars, 保険会社s have 概算の?

To 的 new - and often high-end - モーターs, thieves are arming themselves with cheap 科学（工学）技術 that 許すs them to take cars without having to step foot into someone's 所有物／資産／財産 to take the 重要なs.

Keyless 入ること／参加（者） and keyless ignition means a driver only needs to have the car's 重要な on their 団体／死体 - in their pocket for instance - not only to 打ち明ける the doors but to start the engine.

While this is a convenience feature, it is also one that leaves owners susceptible to car 罪，犯罪.?

Usually two thieves will work together when planning to pinch a car with keyless tech.?One 持つ／拘留するs a transmitter and stands next to the car while the other stands の近くに to the house 持つ／拘留するing an amplifier.

The amplifier can 上げる the signal from the 重要な inside the 所有物／資産／財産 and send it to the transmitter.?

The transmitter essentially becomes a ghost 重要な and tricks the car into thinking the real 重要な is nearby. This then opens the car and 許すs it to be driven away without 原因（となる）ing any 損失.

保険会社s have 概算の that around half of all car 窃盗s are 現在／一般に行為／行うd in this way because 犯罪のs can do it quickly and in 近づく silence, with ギャング（団）s usually 的ing 乗り物s in the middle of the night without raising 疑惑.

Across all 範囲 Rover variants (範囲 Rover, 範囲 Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque) 窃盗s dropped by around 20% in 2023, によれば DVLA 記録，記録的な／記録するs

拒絶する／低下する in 範囲 Rover 窃盗s

While the Fiesta, 焦点（を合わせる） and ゴルフ are all predicable sights at the 最高の，を越す of the 乗り物窃盗 charts - せいにするing to the high number of examples on the road today - the same can't be said about 範囲 Rovers.

The 賞与金 SUVs are beloved by the 豊富な, footballers and - it seems - 乗り物 thieves.

For the last few years, they have been 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）d の中で the most stolen モーターs.

This has been linked to a combination of their desirability with 犯罪のs - 特に as many are stolen to order and then 負担d into コンテナs to be 輸出（する）d to Africa and other overseas 地域s where 需要・要求する is high - and a sugge sted 緩和する of infiltrating 安全 systems.

However, the number of all 範囲 Rover variants (含むing 範囲 Rover, 範囲 Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque) stolen in 2023?拒絶する／低下するd by almost 20 per cent compared to 2022, the data shows.

The 範囲 Rover Sport was the fifth most-stolen car of 2023 with 1,631 窃盗s. That's a 拒絶する／低下する of 28.6% year-on-year?

Behind the Sport was the Evoque, with a 2.8 per cent year-on-year 落ちる in cars taken from their rightful owners, 量ing to 1,489 窃盗s in 2023.

The 基準範囲 Rover and 範囲 Rover Velar didn't make it into the the 最高の，を越す 10 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）, with 771 and 560 窃盗s. However, it is 価値（がある）公式文書，認めるing that these were 年一回の拒絶する／低下するs of 27.2 per cent and 15 per cent それぞれ.

JLR says 人物／姿／数字s from the Police 国家の Computer Data also show a 類似の downward 傾向 of 窃盗s of 範囲 Rover 乗り物s, with a 26 per cent 削減 between November 2022 and the same month last year.?

However, the Land Rover 発見 Sport did squeeze into the 最高の，を越す 10 order of stolen モーターs in 2023 with a 15.2 per cent year-on-year 増加する in 窃盗s that saw 954 go 行方不明の.

Since January 2022, only 0.07 per cent of new 範囲 Rover and 範囲 Rover Sports on the road with the 最新の安全体制／機構 have been stolen, while only 0.3 per cent of new Defenders had been 影響する／感情d since 2020, JLR told us.

Its models dating 支援する to 2018 are 適格の for the 安全昇格解放する／自由な of 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金, with some 74,500 顧客s already taking advantage of the 申し込む／申し出, a spokesperson explained.

Our 最高の，を越す five 安全 tips to keep your car 安全な・保証する from thieves

1. Keep your 重要な fob 井戸／弁護士席 away from your 乗り物 - and 蓄える／店 it in a Faraday wallet

If you own a car with keyless tech, to best 保護する it against relay 窃盗策略, always place the keyfob as far away from the 乗り物 as you can and 蓄える／店 it in a 場所 that is not の近くに to doors or windows in your 所有物／資産／財産.

Halfords sells faraday pouches for ￡5

Even keeping them upstairs or in a room that's the furthest distance from your driveway will not 保証（人） that a 犯罪の using relay 策略 won't be able to infiltrate the signal.

For the best level of 保護, owners of cars with keyless tech should 購入（する） a Faraday pouch or wallet.

You can buy these online for as little as ￡5. They?孤立する the 重要な fob's signal so it can't be replicated by thieves.

2. 投資する in extra anti-窃盗保護

A simple steering wheel lock or wheel clamp might look ugly but are a 広大な／多数の／重要な道具 to 阻止する even the hardiest 犯罪のs with the most tech.

They will 行為／法令／行動する as a vi sual deterrent for thieves who will likely 避ける them.

For a 犯罪の to 除去する a steering wheel lock typically 要求するs the use of noisy 演習s or saws to 削減（する） through, and therefore they are the ideal first line of defence for owners with models that have keyless car tech.

Drivers should also consider wheel clamps 同様に as having alarm systems and trackers (read more about these below) 任命する／導入するd.?

Owners of 先頭s with keyless 科学（工学）技術 should also consider fitting deadbolts for 付加保護, 特に if they 蓄える／店 expensive 道具s and items in their 商業の乗り物s 夜通し.?

3. Be mindful when locking the doors?

It may sound simple but always make sure your 乗り物 is locked every time you leave it - 特に in busy car parks where thieves often use signal blockers.

Many drivers also don't realise that on some 乗り物 models if you 圧力（をかける） your 重要な fob only once your car will only be 選び出す／独身 locked.

This means that if you 粉砕するd the window you could manually open the car by reaching in and pulling the 扱う from the inside.?

To 二塁打 lock, 重要な fobs can 要求する a second 圧力（をかける） of the locking button to engage the 十分な安全 features. It is important to read your car's 手動式の when you first get it and familiarise how to securely lock your car when you're not in it.

4. Think carefully about where you park 夜通し

Most often, keyless car 窃盗s take place on owners' driveways. While 運転者s might think having their 乗り物 in such の近くに proximity to their 所有物／資産／財産保証（人）s its 安全, this is certainly not the 事例／患者 when it comes to relay 窃盗s - やめる the contrary, in fact, as it means the car is closer to where they 重要なs are inside your home.

That's why owners with off-street parking should consider 付加対策.?

Driveway parking 地位，任命するs are a cheap but efficient way of deterring would-be thieves.?

Drivers can also go one step その上の and 任命する／導入する lockable gates in their driveway, while simple CCTV systems can 供給するその上の peace of mind.?

高級な cars, which are at greater 危険 of 窃盗, should be parked in a locked garage where possible.< /p>

For those without off-street parking who leave their cars on the road outside their home, you are also not 安全な from these 犯罪のs.

Consider parking その上の away from your 所有物／資産／財産 than usual - and try to find a space under a streetlight so that thieves are exposed when trying to steal your car at night.

If you live on a 居住の street where there are also 商売／仕事, park outside one with a CCTV camera 任命する／導入するd.?
