Land Rover advert for their new Defender<\/h3>\n

Range Rover owners have come under threat as police struggle to get a grip on tackling car crime rates for Britain’s most stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n

The popular SUVs have become virtually \u201cimpossible to insure\u201d in Central London with only two insurers providing cover as thefts are so common.<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph, the cheapest policy for a Range Rover Velar R-Dynamic costs a whopping \u00a322,515 on average through insurance firm Quotegoat.<\/p>\n

This is a stark contrast to Sussex where 20 providers offer cover for the model at an average cost of just \u00a31,978 per annum. According to the DVLA, one in every 100 Land Rover models are stolen with Range Rovers now accounting for six of the top 10 most targeted models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, the Range Rover Velar R-Dynamic is the most wanted model on the streets with two in every 100 taken by criminals. As the numbers rise, experts at Green Car Guide have warned seven simple solutions could be enough to stop thieves in their tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Tracking device\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Installing a tracking device could provide owners with vital information which may help them get their car back in one piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A high-quality Range Rover GPS tracker provides S7 tracking systems and 24\/7 monitoring. The tools even send a distress signal to the police if a crime is detected leaving you one step ahead of the criminals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Keep vehicle locked at all times<\/h3>\n

One common mistake owners make is they fail to double-check a vehicle is locked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On occasions, pressing the key fob may fail which puts vehicles at severe risk. Car alarms will not even be activated if someone opens the door while it is unlocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motorists can prevent issues by simply trying out the handle and checking windows every time they walk away from their car.<\/p>\n
