IIRC steering wheels locks are about 15 to 30 seconds to defeat.

Well all I know is that they would have to remove the plate at the front then get into the car cut the steering lock off resulting in damage to wheel ,unless they’re proper wanting the vehicle then they’ll move on to a softer mark always the way with the scumbags all in all my car is insured & gapped I use a faraday pouch & always apply my steering lock plus don’t care what anyone says they’re still less of a target than any Kraut car due to their rarity fingers crossed,that was the main reason for me choosing one over an Audi,BMW or Mercedes.
Any motor is a target over here in UK even a small Ford or Toyota.

Actually, it's their rarity that makes them a target to be stolen.
Someone needs parts for their QV, its less likely those parts are going to be available for cheap, so pilfering a car is their way of getting the parts they need.

Am I missing something here but what about a good old fashioned steering wheel lock surely that would prevent any theft attempts ?

Or maybe a £50 steering lock 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone else seen this video? Figures the thieves would be driving a BMW. Or was it staged as part of a marketing effort?

Crazy to see how quickly it can be done, and that people walk by and seemingly don't even notice


I will say that the camera angle/placement is almost too good to be true, like it is staged for marketing purposes
