Common questions about vehicle security

Is the vehicle theft risk checker free?

Yes — completely free, no sign-up required. It covers 22 makes and 100+ models using published DVLA, ONS, and ABI data.

Do I need a tracker or an immobiliser?

A tracker helps recover a stolen vehicle and can satisfy insurer requirements. An immobiliser prevents the vehicle starting without authorisation. Many high-risk vehicles benefit from both. Use the free risk checker to get a recommendation based on your make and model.

What is relay theft and how can I prevent it?

Relay theft uses two devices to amplify your key fob signal, tricking your car into unlocking and starting without the physical key. A Thatcham-approved tracker or immobiliser is the most effective deterrent. Read the full guide in the Vehicle Security Academy.

Which vehicles are most stolen in Suffolk and Norfolk?

Land Rover Defenders, Ford Rangers, Toyota Hilux, and keyless-entry vehicles are among the most targeted. The Can It Be Stolen? series covers specific models in detail using DVLA and police data.

Why we built this

We're a trained Scorpion installer covering Suffolk and Norfolk. Most of the vehicle security information online is either vague, out of date, or written to sell you something. We wanted a place where you could get a straight answer about your actual risk — based on published data, not guesswork.

Every tool on this page is free and has no sign-up. The theft data comes from DVLA vehicle theft statistics, ONS Crime in England and Wales (year ending March 2024), and ABI relay-theft reports. Where data isn't available, we say so.

If you want a recommendation after using the tools, we're happy to give one — but that's at the bottom of the page, not the top.
