Thieving scumbags strike again

Worry not with a Cat 5+ Tracker system. Scumbags pinch, you do a phone call and they switch off the engine remotely Whilst they track to wait for suitable switch off, the Hot Plod catches the crims

I've always been a bit sceptical of the those systems since a friend had one in his RRS that disappeared earlier in the year.
Basically, when questioned, they didn't disable the engine on the car, and said that the reason for this is that they need to wait for the car to be motionless for a minimum of around 5mins before they'll actually cut it. They claimed, legitimately so, that if they cut the engine when the car slows or is just stopped for a second, it could be pulling onto a motorway lane, a large roundabout, on a blind bend or something similar, where a stopped car is dangerous or, bizarrely, the thiefs could get out the car and get hit by another car, and the Security company or owner could end up in court getting sued.

And for 10 quid from eBay or even cheaper if you are handy with some electronics you can block gas. Double the price you can block the mobile phone link.

I have a share of a tracker style company with cat5+ approved units and have spent *alot* of time on this.

I had thought until now the bu**ers couldn't get my RS4 . Would security film on all the windows be any use then
