Gutted for you mate, hope they find the bastards, My parents live in Derbyshire, Darley dale , these theives know what they are after, scum of the earth.

I have a similar blue K reg rover, think i will get a clutch claw as well as my steering lock next time i go back home.

hope you get it back mate.

Sorry to hear of your landy going walkies. Have you got any pics you can put up?

Post it on landywatch too.

Just for future reference stoplocks are easy to get around in just a few seconds with very little noise. You need summit that covers the hole steering wheel.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, I hope the bastards that took it rot in hell.

Check this out for how fast a Stoplock or other devices that DO NOT cover the entire wheel can be defeated. I think most of them are 4 seconds! thats not even enough time time for you to get out of the armchair, put you pint on the table, find your shoes and get out the door!!

Just down the road from you then!

Sorry for your loss

Thanks for the comments, shocked how useless locks are based on the article even the best is 2 mins protection. I'll be ensuring my next one has everything I can think of to protect it. Anyone experience of "Yanthelandyman" on eBay? Based Bolton way always has a few for sale but they rarely seem to make the reserve? Cheers Andy
