The media has too much influence of what happens in this world. I do believe the media put this country in to recession with constant negative talk. Now they do this. They should start to consider the implications of the reports rather than trying to make a good headline.
I was waiting for them to start saying ways to avoid theft; but I'm glad they didn't go in to much detail, that would have given away more secrets.
Now to do the typical British thing, where do I send the letter to?

It took them an hour to take it apart?! I want to know how, when I try taking my Land Rover apart the bolts either sheer or they are on so tight that it would take three heavyweight boxers to undo! Yeah why advertise are Land Rovers makes things a whole lot worse, I am expecting a rise in the number of posts in stolen section!

Fer those who missed it, you can see it over here - starts at 11 minutes: BBC iPlayer - Countryfile: 03/04/2011
Don't think anyone on ere has anything to worry about. Yer rusty ole buscuit tins are only worth scrap value, when weighed in.
Fer those who are worried, then have a look at skytag GPS Tracker
When paying for it, enter the code "lro10" to receive the lro mag discount offer. This means the price is only £90, rather than £249. There's also a subscription thing to keep it going afterwards of £6.99 per month if I understand it correctly.

Pretty factual report. I can't see why we're all moaning - thefts won't rise much more than they already are (high) as those that nick them know what they're doing. Not many thieving chav scum watch Countryfile, and perhaps a bit more attention will force the police and LR to do a bit more to make them secure.

Just because no one wants to steal your gaylander incase it breaks down on route home! Or they have to go across a field and we all know they don't like wet grass let alone MUD.

I think something like 2014 for a 'new' Defender. It's not just security, it's all stuff like pedestrian collision regs etc.

Yaaaar
And all that crash test ****.
But they will continue to make the defender as it is noe, but over seas for the 3rd world market and more basic, ie more like they were or that's what the LR experience man told me

Also giving out prices for what bits are worth! WTF!
So it's quick to strip, worth a couple grand in parts and there is a good demand for said parts! Thanks John, nob.
I did snigger when they said it was all about defenders and one of the trio of 'fenders was a series 3 it was a mint one though, nice.
It could go either way I guess, make things worse through advertising it or better through publicising it.
