Nearly three quarters of vehicles stolen in England and Wales are never recovered, yet professionally monitored aftermarket trackers achieve recovery rates of 95-99%, exposing serious weaknesses in factory-fitted connected car technology.

    Neighbour’s car vanished years ago — useless factory tech, police shrugged. Now a cheap tracker does their job. Infuriating.

    Ninety-nine per cent. Right. Says who — the firms selling the trackers? Funny how the missing number is always the denominator. Recovered where, in what condition, and counted by whom? Give me an independent audit, a working definition of “recovered”, and the ones that stayed gone. Until then it’s marketing with a police report stapled on.
