What would the nominees in UK look like?

mk2 Astra, Cav, Belmont, Metro?

[Dan_mk1]

All 80s vauxhalls and fords, novas topping the list, lol

I can understand why integras are popular among US car thievies.

But why Vauxhall Novas in UK? Is it because it is easy to fence off to chop shops? Or just too easy to steal them?

Have not heard of any Williams being stolen over the past 8 months that I have been here; so that must be good news. An extra reason to own a Clio Williams :)

Its so easy to steal a nova its untrue, I used to have one, you could just put a screwdriver in the lock and turn it, lmao

nah.. by a long ways its the mk 1 corsas... ****ing rife... also mondeos.
all you have to do is bend the doors back....

"||Did you know||" to unlock your car if u lock your self out, just apply a backfeed through your reverse light, pop goes the locks.

the method thoeves use round my patch is:
bend top of dor back.. and damage ignition..

So, I presume the bad rep of UK hot hatches being thievies magnet are now a thing of the past? Guess that's one thing good about living in a small island the size of M25 loop; not many places to hide a stolen car. Those that do get nicked usually end up in Malaysia within the hour.
