We are now firmly in the departure lounge and going through all the pre-flight checks.
So apart from getting all the treats, do we need to worry about theft?
Can the Cali cope on her own, and what happens if your keys get into the wrong hands by burglary?
I might be wrong, but all advice out there at the moment is suggesting that additional physical means of security are now needed again in this modern age. Disklok, pedal locks, both? (Bear locks are hard to get in the UK?)
Spare wheel locks?
And other layers of security, like trackers, roof decals, window etching, dash cams.
Where does this need to stop?
Having insurance isn't going to make your life easy if it happens, so prevention must be better than cure, surely?
It seems that you need a physical lock with keys kept separately to prevent a drive away with the keys.
Are there any electronic devices that will disable a vehicle that run separately to the main keys, and can be dealer fitted?
I keep seeing the sticky thread of the poor people who have had their beloved stolen.
How many Cali thefts are you aware of? What was the method used, and the outcome?
Obviously a lorry and crane is unstoppable, but most likely to happen at a place you park at regularly - i.e at home, as opposed to when on a road trip. And car-jacking is still rare in the UK, thankfully.
Is the 50k causing paranoia?
Over to the experts please....
