Grant I well remember a time when my father broke the key to his MK2 Cortina company car. We borrowed a key from a driver with a similar car parked a couple of spaces away to get in, at which stage he ripped out a few wires, twisted them together and we were off.

That was too easy to get into. Personally I worry about anything that doesn't require a physical item to start it; a key with an immobiliser code seems to me to be the most secure. Firstly you need the key, which can be stored securely, and not just any key, it needs the code. Anything wireless is vulnerable, if we are to believe the latest scare stories about our wifi.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please. I thought with "chipped" keys car crime had virtually disappeared, but it seems to be back on the rise again. Is that so? Or just scaremongering on TV?
