A full-size Range Rover is chosen for a buyer already waiting overseas, watched and lifted, then re-papered and exported - an organised pipeline arranged in advance. Its value is wholly in the complete, pristine car, so the parts route barely figures, and the recovery window is the first hour.
A notorious relay target
Full-size Range Rovers have been a byword for relay theft - the keyless signal lifted from inside a home to start the car silently, then a jammer on the getaway. The detail of the answer is on the tracking guide.
What protects it
On the most targeted SUV there is, a layered plan built around an independent RF beacon - the signal that outlives jamming and an export container - is the only thing that reliably brings it back.
