I seem to remember a recent TV item (Top Gear?) about car theft. The reporter flew over the main road from Nigeria's container port and picked up 5 different vehicles fitted with Trackers! All were stolen of course.
Seems if the Thieving B's can get them into a container they are effectively screened.

You do need to run the car for a minimum of 20mins per week to keep the battery charged (or keep it on a trickle charge when garaged for longer periods).
surely its not as simple as waiting for the battery to run flat is it?

best i've managed so far is £399 to purchase and fit for the rac trackstar(before invoking a ford prefect stylee "fancy a write up" for a club discount) followed by £10 a month or £320 for the life of your ownership of the car.
