5:58 The thieves have put a steering lock on as they cannot trust any other thieves not to steal their stolen property 😂You couldn't make it up!
Next they'll be putting their own trackers in so they can retrieve them after they've been retrieved ;)
Joe Black They are ahead of you there I’m afraid to say.
You would be surprised stolen cars get stolen lol
I'm not sure there's any point to ANYONE fitting a steering lock if it can be unpicked in under 3.5 minutes?
should have left it there and waited in a van with baseball bats till the thief came back.
tfw the thieves take more precautions than the customer to prevent theft lol
To be fair, the thieves know how easy it is to steal the damm things lol.
@@M3rVsT4H So should the owner considering he's the one who's spent so much money on it. Surely he would of noticed the amount of keyless thefts...
@@OperatorMitch I've got to say, I'm a fanatical car guy who follows car related news and watches video's like these often and I had no idea just how easy it was. But I've sure come to appreciate my oldskool key.
Well the owner got a good tracker on it at least; he could probably do with a driveway post too, move the thieves on to an easier target...
It looks like old school physical deterrents are back in vogue with how easy it seems RF keyless entry systems are to trick...
Bet the dealer fed the owner the usual 'our cars are secure bs' from the brochure, you never hear a dealer say our cars are great but securitys not so good -we have a choice of locks/trackers for you to choose from.
But we did sell alot of trackers on higher end models due to insurance companies wanting them fitting before giving you a quote.
Props to YOU for going above and beyond as a tracker. Shows a lot about the org!!!
I just found this channel a couple of days ago, and I've been binge watching ever since. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Essentially this is advanced geocaching with the odd chance of being attacked by a thief.
Cheers from the Netherlands.
You have one of the most satisfying channels to watch thanks mate
Absolutely and couldn't have said it any better. Love these guys and they are like angels sent to earth to rescue mankind from devil theives.
Oh boy yes words out my mouth the dirty scum getting payback. But they get away with it again free to try again☹️
Yeah , i just randomly found this channel, and have to say its great
Dirty rats need hanging people have to work hard for this cars
Absolutely agree been watching him for some time now love it
I have a 1994 Toyota Supra twin turbo which is becoming more and more rarer these days. Ive got a removable steering wheel plus tracker but i still worry. The tore those panels off that mustang like it was nothing. Thats someone's pride and joy. Absolute wankers
Best way is a interrupter switch on one of the main control sytems, fuel pump, main power to ingnition harness, crank/cam angle sensor, etc. The trick is you need to be pretty decent at wiring, use stock style connectors, wire looms, and routing. Then put the micro switch somewhere that's not easy to get to or somewhere you have to reach into without being able to physically see it. Works wonders on the rigs I set up for people and so far I have not seen a thief intelligent enough to realise what the problem is and to easily restore power. Thief are only good at stealing shit, there not a very bright group when it comes dianostics, make something out of the ordinary to steal and they can't figure it out.
@@fordmud i believe the syvecs ECU has something like that wired into it? Im due an ECU upgrade and there is an anti theft kill switch mode built in. However i do currently have a Clifford alarm and immobiliser fitted with a movement sensor, proximity alarm etc. My fear is them dragging the car onto a recovery truck without breaking into the car. Happened to a mates R32 GTR in Scotland. Didn't break in just pulled it. Never seen again. 😢
Honestly removable steeting wheel isn't that great of a deterrent
@@xStr8UPDoPex i know mate they'll take what they want
@@HK.Builds he should have had mtrack. 😁
The best anti-theft device you can install on your car is a well-hidden switch that shuts off the fuel pump. The crooks cannot drive it away if the fuel pump isn't working.
saw this done on an old jeep, clever
Best anti-theft is good insurance. Let them steal it, and hope you never see it again. Go buy a new one. What happens if this guy gets pulled over and the find drugs in the car now? Owner is fucked. Steal my car? Even if its parked down the road I wont want it back. God only knows what they have done to it.
@@stevew145
People who think like you are the reason our car insurance premiums are so high. It's better to have anti-theft devices so it cannot be stolen in the first place.
@@chuckster3629 no such thing as an anti theft device... If they want it, they'll take it. Break into your house and steal the key. Car jack you with a knife at a red light, Use a crane and put it in the back of a truck. "People like me" is not the reason insurance rates are so high. I've never made an insurance claim in my life. People who steal cars are the reason they're so high. People who purposely burn their cars, or purposely have them stolen. People who scratch up their car so they can get a free paint job. I dare say people like you, is the real problem. Blaming all the problems of the world on people with a different opinion than yours, because your opinion couldn't be wrong. You're always right. It's everyone else's fault the world is fucked, not yours.
@@l337pwnage same as me, I grew up in a small town. My father left the keys in brand new vehicles, house left unlocked. Still hasn't had an issue.
Imagine taking this back to the place it got stolen from with the thieves still on the run. That is unnerving.
take the wheels off and battery out
@@anonymous2513456 Yeah because that make sense lets reset the time an put wheels on car every time you go to shop 🤣🤣, easy option just get a case to put key in so they can not get a signal to clone another key
You guys do an incredible service. Well done mate.
Thanks for that more videos coming soon 👍
The locksmith pretended like he picked it but it really just wasnt secured properly LOL...
The locksmith got paid for nothing lol
Yes, I thought the locksmith was making out he had picked the lock, then just removed it from the wheel.
He did pick it as the tensioning tool turned at 11:38 (i watch too much Lock picking lawyer)
@@ikeogooner5199 pshh watch again dude, he didn't do shit lol
If anything, these videos demonstrate Automatrics personnel and staffing commitment and effort to recover their customer's stolen items. I've watched all of their videos and this is what I get from them more than anything else. Impressive.
I’m very impressed by the level of professionalism. I’m definitely considering getting a tracker worth every penny
Thanks we do try our best
Another excellent video. In addition to the steering lock, I would add an inconspicuous hidden anti-starting switch. Even if they code the key, the vehicle will not start. Thieves train to defeat factory systems, but rarely can they defeat unique deterrents.
@@douganderson7002 an immobilizer is an easy fit. But hiding it is harder.
@@douganderson7002 who pissed in your cereal?
Please upload more often. The only good thing about these things getting stolen is you making the video on it! haha!
Mate they can only upload if one of there vehicles who have there trackers fitted in them.. Its a good thing they hardly upload as that means no ones vehicles are being stolen.
he cant upload more than gets stolen with a tracker... i think he´s trying his best to get us content the best he can
@@eriksimca9409 read my comment.. i know that haha.
Also, I am sure he receives permission from the property owner before publishing any videos and not all owners want their stolen property recovery broadcasted for the world to see.
it also brings awareness to how easy and fast it really is for some one to just walk up in the night and steal your stuff and that this kinda thing happens on a daily basis, it also promotes the tracking device and shows exactly how the company will find your stolen stuff if you buy that tracking device
You know it's really great watching you recover all these different stolen vehicles. Yes technology was used to steal this car. Fortunately technology was in this customer's advantage. It proves whatever the cost for this service is well worth. Not only getting your car back but the piece of mind. Great work thanks for sharing.
Nice comment thanks
I have a rare TransAm. I have taken steps to insure it is not stolen as well.. Even so that has not stopped some from trying. Here is the kicker, I live 80 miles from the nearest major town or city in rural Wisconsin.. and still three car thieves thought they could get away with it apparently.. 2 German Shepherd Combat Bite trained K-9's and my Benelli M4 Tactical Semi Auto .12 gauge stopped them cold. What was even more funny is that when the Sheriff arrived that night at 0400 hours to take them off my hands, they tried to get me arrested for using a gun against one of them and sicing my dogs on the other two.
My dogs woke me quietly, no noise that night.. As I geared up, I watched their every move on a handheld LED display for my security cameras around my property. That allowed me to setup and take them by surprise when I had the best position on them. Had they made entry into the garage, an alarm in my house would have notified me as well but the dogs woke me before they got a chance. Later we saw they had actually checked the pull shed, barn and workshop first, going to the detached garage next to the house last. When the dogs woke me, they were all near the main barn still and by the time I was ready, they had just started trying the doors and two windows of the garage for entry.
Times have changed and thieves are getting bolder and bolder these days.. And the fact they will travel a long way to get something they want, is even more of a concern.. We even have thieves that come out this far and cut off all the copper cables for the major mile long irrigation rigs that are installed on numerous farmland fields etc.. Why so many countries like the UK and Australia have folded and given up all rights to defend yourself is beyond me.. but here in the USA, it is obvious why we will never give up that right.
yeah sadly if we had done anything like what you describe to a thief we would be heading to jail that night, penalties for there type of crime are generally non existent, we'd get a much harsher sentence than the thief lol. If someone decides to enter my property illegally they won't be walking out regardless of the law here in Scotland.
It is too bad all the changes you have gone through over there.. Having been a few times in the US Navy, Scotland and the UK overall used to be so much more like us.. today, not so much.
The level of commitment to your craft is absolutely brilliant mate 👌 bravo
Waiting for the day the thieves start putting Thier own tracking device on the cars they steal and then steal it back ...
Inception
AutoMatrics are gonna protect this car till the customer gets here... Absolute Don keep up the good work
Thanks for the encouragement 👍
it did sound beautiful, I recommend the disc lok personally which is £110 quid but it fits over your full steering wheel.
brilliant job from the MTrack team again what a sweet motor ,drool when he started it .all the best for 2019 to the MTrack team.
Too bad it's an american car though.
yeh ,i watched the rangerover one again as i was sure it was more expensive and had a even meaner roar and i was right , it maybe dont look as nice as the Mustang but RR packs a punch .
a really impressive tracking system, very satisfying to watch you get these vehicles back.
those gps trakker can bye 20$ and just look map where signal is. Can even but in bicycle.
If the owner had gone back through his video capture for a week, he would have no doubt got more recording of their initial visits, key code capture etc so that they had one programmed ready to go.
It is time consuming but worth it. We always instructed victims to do so and it often reaped great reward, even offenders casing prior without faces covered.
I am always pleased to see you recover stolen property but I am left furious that I don't get to see the thieves getting their heads fractured.
Too bad this product and level of support isn’t available in the USA🇺🇸 - I enjoy these videos. It’s a bit like “Radio Fox Hunting” done by ham radio operators.
To be honest im a bit surprised its availbale here.
I half expected the police to say they are no longer responsibly for vehicle thefts .
I was certainly surprised they could deal with a steering wheel lock.
David Farmer those old steering locks were a waste of time when they used to be popular
Disclok and automatic tracker is the way to go
@@kells77 Dunno , the guy got his "motor" ripped apart as they were trying to find it.
We always said a "crook lock" was better then nothing.
WEve never had one stolen but mostly we have not had high value cars. Not to that extent anyway
Quite literally they use the trackers used for Falconry in these trackers. When they say it's "gone into alarm", they have a simple GSM enabled GPS tracker which triggers a relay to the falconry tracker. They can last 30 - 40 days on a small battery.
Most vehicles come standard with vehicle tracking (with a bunch of other features) in America. Just gotta pay for it to be enabled
The criminal would most definitely have come back to recover this car in order to sell it on but the police would not invest a single penny waiting for his return!!!! Hell of a thing when you think how much effort they devote to hammering the motorist with petty fines! The police are increasingly a waste of our money. No arrests.
But they would need the car owner's consent to use it as bait. They'd be into all sorts of legal issues. Plus they would have to prove he actually stole it. He could just claim he bought it innocently and they wouldn't have a case in court.
@@vistron888 "Legal issues" you say? what about the legal issue of two thugs trespassing on someones driveway and steeling £50,000 worth of car? People like you are why Britain is no longer Great, you weakling.
Put your MAGA hat down mate. I was simply stating what would happen when it comes to making a case. I don't have any time for these thieves either but that's the reality of the law. I've seen it.
@@vistron888 You could just as easily have voiced your contempt for these thieves but you decided to correct me instead! Too many asshole like you in society, these days. Far too many!
Yeah, the coppers missed a trick there the owner started the car and took a call on his mobile, that would have been an easy six points to dish out there and a fine. They will never hit their quotas with that sloppy attitude.
I’ve watched this a few times now as it keeps appearing in my timeline, and it gets better every time.
MTrack - Fantastic recovery system. Keep up the good work chaps. I find your videos very informative and entertaining. The scrotes will stop at nothing for their next hit.
The only criticism is that I believe you don't entirely understand how a relay attack works in relation to the key functionality. Same with the comments on your BMW M2 a few months ago. The manufacturers are fighting back in the guise of motion detection keys. With these the key goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity. Will stop a relay attack when the keys are stationary.
I have assisted in recovering a few RR's that have been "relayed" and a give away is that they are left insecure as once they are away from the owners key they have no method of locking again until a new key has been programmed. The thieves generally park the stolen vehicle up in a remote location and leave it for a few days to see if it has a tracking system fitted. Last thing they want is to take it back to their slaughter yard and lead the cops to them...
"Wave 2" is our common enemy here.
Not confined to Ford and the cars security system is not flawed. Any car with keyless entry/start can be compromised by this method of attack. (BMW / Audi / VW / Range Rover / Lexus etc..) The Wave 2 does not copy the key, it simply extends the range of the customers key so that the car thinks it is talking to the proper key. The Wave 2 does not keep a copy of the original key and once out of range of the customers house it is not possible to restart the car if it is stalled or turned off. Ideally if you have an older keyless type of car without the motion detection keys then as is said on the video a faraday pouch should be used to store your keys when not in use. Don't forget the spare ones as well!! Also make sure you get a good quality pouch as the cheep ones off of eBay wear out and become less / non effective once the keys have been in and out a few times.
And yes putting your keys in the microwave is a good Faraday cage until someone turns it on and nukes your keys !!!!!
this is why keys are safer than wireless fobs
It’s just keyless entry, I don’t know why they’re all using keyless entry pushing a button isn’t that much work for how much more secure it is
@@alexbainbridge7160 one thing I hate about newer cars. It's to easy to get tools to steal one and to prevent your own from getting stolen you need to buy a killswitch or something because OEM isnt good enough
I would have sat and waited with some muscle as they would have sure come back to collect! then I would have sure gave them a hiding! total wasters and deserve a good slap!
@Josh how do you work out weeks ? more days than weeks mate
I think thieves are aware of tracking devices and let the car next to the road few days to see if someone turns up
@@diecksl
Of course they are, you saw all the panels they ripped off inside to try and find the tracker. If they don't find one they park them in "cool off" areas to see if someone comes for it.
Its a disgrace that they can be stolen so easily. Keyless entry and start is a joke.
Great comment. 100%
Tracie Oliver... and what happens when they pull a gun out ???.... just b4 car drives away 2 guys casually walk past on other side of the street
Sitting here at 1:10 am hooked on watching these and thinking that's a job I would love to do, tracking down lifted gear and getting it back to its rightful owner.
Omg this is better than any tv show. I’m hooked! You just can’t have anything nice and someone else wanting it, pisses me off. Glad the owner got his car back.
Happy new year to all the team ,you do a quality job and love your channel keep it up.
I've watched every one of these episodes with great interest. I'm convinced that the American model of LoJack is deeply flawed and that Automatics has a FAR superior service. In the US, LoJack has handed over recovery to Law Enforcement only . There is no independent recovery team that can act in the quick fashion that is needed. This is where Automatics has revolutionized customer service for this product. I would LOVE to see an equivalent product in the US. On-star and LoJack can not compete . In the US they have turned this into nothing but an insurance industry pay out.
love these videos. i know how happy i would be in the customers shoes to have my stolen truck or bike returned. great service you do.
My new favourite channel! thank you for making these and letting us enjoy them.. :D Mustang is my favourite dream car, so seeing this recovered gives me great joy and pleasure (: weldone for recovering and the lock smith for helping (:..
by watching the vid , that signal was not boosted at all , as it takes around 30 seconds to set up and do it , also they had no equipment with them . i suspect they had a remote key belonging to the car . i suspect the customer bought the car second hand with either only one remote or the dealer had one remote and programmed a third remote to the car to make up two remotes . but did not disable the missing remote .
No need. They simply scan the house for the WiFi signal coming from the key itself. They copy that with their scanner,then send a signal to the car, Bingo it's theirs to take. And, it doesn't matter if it's a 300,000 Quid Maybach or a common or garden Rustang ,they are all stolen the same way.
@@Mercmad But the thieves had locked the car after driving. That means that they had a real key
@Johnny Ericsson But why would you do that if you don't have a key? After that they can't open the doors again and that would be stupid
@@Mercmad , i know how the system works , and even seen it demonstrated . in the vid all you saw is two guy with no equiment in there hands walk up to a car and unlock it . the house was not scanned and signal boosted . as i pointed out , most prob had the spare remote key .
They need to program a new key to make it easy to drive away and re-lock so they scan the owner's key on the first visit, go away and program a key and then steal the car in seconds on a second visit probably the next day.
Thieves putting a steering lock on a stolen car, priceless! 🤔😁😊
That steering lock will go straight in the bin, forensics won't be interested in that!
I had a car stolen, the thieves left a cigarette lighter, screwdriver and even put fuel in my car. Did a bit of research and found only one petrol station between where my car was stolen and where it was found Spoke to the owner and he had all the CCTV evidence of my car coming in the petrol station in the early hours of the previous morning. Handed all my findings to the police, they weren't interested! Told me my car was recovered and my insurance company were to deal with it, gave me a crime number lol What a joke! 🤨🙁😮😯🤔
It's a shame when you cannot find an honest thief these days!!
@@jquest43 Haha! A thief will steal the pension off their own grandmother! Sad, very sad! 😯🙁🙁🤔😁😎👍
PD Tech if the Grandparents are getting pension payed by the government, then it’s already money stolen from the public. The circle of theft is running hot.
@@domdraper3221 What kind of backward logic is that? 'If the Grandparents are getting pension paid by the government then it's already money stolen from the public' 🤔😯
They've already paid into the system ALL their lives, in Income Tax, National Insurance, VAT and a host of other taxes the government impose. That makes their pension well earned and deserved. If the current generation think the elderly are a burden on society or their pension is a drain on public funds, then they are completely delusional.
What is completely crazy is someone who has never worked and received benefits all their lives here in the UK gets the same State Pension as someone who has worked all their lives and paid into the system😯🤔🤨🙁
@@pdtech4524 Just quickly, the elderly who worked for 60+ years and didn’t put money away for retirement, even though they had much more affordable living conditions, are a burden by definition. In the Uk, the pension is funded by the younger generations. Your telling me that these people willingly decided not to save for their retirements, because they knew their kids would pick up the bill. If you think that’s well earned and well deserved, than you are delusional. They also paid into governments that they voted for. The governments they voted in also borrowed a shit ton of money that the younger generations have to struggle to pay back. The pensioners don’t deserve shit. Sorry.
I was thinking at first how your job looks exciting and glamorous as you headed off. Being stuck on your own in the dark with a nicked car though looks kinda scary and no glamour there. Great job you do, would love to see this on telly!
No glamour but plenty of excitement lol
The only way is Essex.
It’s always a pleasure watching your brilliant videos.
It must always be satisfying recovering stolen vehicles. 👍
"I've done the job you should be doing and found a stolen car." Police: "Do you want our help then?" You wouldn't believe it.
The Police are as useless as tits on a bull LOL!!
owner has a mustang and a cowboy ringtone, He might be the coolest guy i don't know
i think the car made that noise... i think the cars dash plays that little sample when booting up
Ironically the PIR light came on - and was so bright it blocked out the crooks face
Nice to see you get things recovered on most occasions !
I tell you what this company is fucking awesome. You don't see the work that goes on in the background when you have a tracker fitted. Worth every penny
Unsurprisingly... we liked this comment.
After watching your videos I think I will be contacting you soon 👍
I already did) and i feel safe now
gamezone047 how big are the trackers, and do they work in other countries?
@@uzaiyaro i can't tell you the specifics here. But they are quiet big. Bigger than you would expect. And they should work in other countries
This guy really seems to go over and beyond to get his customers property back. Really impressive indeed.
gamezone047 how much does it cost?
Remember the days when almost any old key would fit a Ford Capri? Fords don't seem to have improved much.
video99.co.uk old ford escort keys used ti open jags as jags used the same key barrels supplyd by ford
Same issue for any keyless system no matter what marque
There used to be a story that the Ford Taurus had one of just thirty two(?) possible keys or something obscene like that. The idea being that the odds of someone having the twin key for your Taurus *and* ever realizing that fact were extremely poor due to the fact normal people don't go around testing their car keys in random cars.
Of course it came to light when two people with identical keys and near identical looking cars parked in the same row of a Costco or something and drove home the wrong cars.
AS you say I seem to recall this scenario in the '70s when cortinas could be driven off in minutes.
Unbelievable.
The anti theft was the fact you were driving a Capri.
We all know the difference between a hedgehog and a Capri.
The pricks are on the outside of a hedgehog .
A quick check online shows that the fake number plates correspond with another genuine black Mustang. They came prepared! Great recovery.
One of my favorite CZcams channels. Keep them coming. We love riding along with you.
We will thanks for your comment 👍👍
gone are the days of just removing the rotor arm lol.
What the heck’s a rotor arm?
SunzOffski oh okay
Sort of a pain in the ass to remove the dist cap to take that off every time you park lol. You could just remove a few of the coil packs from the spark plugs these days with the same effect
Maybe take the fuel pump relay? Easy fix, but how many thieves are gonna sit there and troubleshoot the problem.
I used to install a switch in the low tension wire on the ignition coil. Switch was hidden under the dashboard. Worked a treat on old Fords.
Love this channel. Wish you’d post more often, especially vehicle stuff
I know exactly how that owner feels. Had my 1995 Mustang GT stolen many years. It was in such mint condition. It was found with the interior completely damaged (needed whole new dashboard), and on the outside full of dents and scratches. Tires were bald and tire spatter all over the quarter panels.
Two guys walking past at the end of the video.... hmmm. “Head down, keep walking. Don’t look left.”
1 thumbs down from the thief.
expect one more as they were 2 ..hahaha
lol theres a second thumbs down from the other thief ! HAHA
25 rotton theifs
You found the car yards from my school and the car either hadn’t moved while I was at school or it did and came back as I walked past it twice
hey gamer: youse dinna walk past this at all mate. Did you not listen. it was moved a few hundred meters just as he was closing, so this had not been there long enough to cool off. pity no catchee.
Paublus Americanus well I did as I was chatting to my mates about it as it’s a nice car and I even said to em that’s it’s a pitty it’s an automatic
It probably moved cause they were worried it would get stolen from where they had it, so parked it in an area where people care more for there motor and there are other distractions or deterrents(good cars n nosey neighbours).
Peter datechmen yeah they do really care about there cars around there someone has kept a couple of old mercs going. However it’s quite a quiet area when there isn’t the school traffic from the secondary and the private primary
Struggled watching this as the time and date displayed on the CCTV was the exact time I lost my cousin in Queens hospital bizarrely in Romford 😇
Have you got it back
Congratulations Richard, another successful recovery.
Those two guys legit look like the ones who stole it who is walking in 13:57
I thought of the same thing.
I was getting that feeling to
the way they didn't look at the car made me think the same. The noise it makes alone turns heads
And the police noticed nothing as they walked past with gloves on and laughing lol
The guys at the end stole it!!!
car companies need to up the security with these keyless entry systems. thats terrible how easy it is to steal
Steering wheel is on the wrong side. Hello from Pennsylvania, USA!
I would be so livid you don’t even know. This guy kept his cool pretty well
I wouldn't follow the Police's advice with a steering lock. Invest in a discklok. While they can still be broken into (if they know what they're doing) at least it will still be there if they don't. As proven, that stoplock is just terrible and can easily be bypassed in many ways. Customer should also invest in a Clifford 650 or at least a Thatcham approved alarm system. Though credit to Automatrics for hiding that tracker extremely well.
Damn disklok indeed. Very wise words 👍😊
@J TheAndroidFrea Just miles better than a stop lock.
@@Combatting Completely agree and that's what I have now to make life tough for these f***ing crooks.
Our Customers hide the devices themselves! That way, only they know where they have put it and less risk of it being found!
@@AutomatricsMtrack Are you sure about that 😊. I am one of your customers & definitely didn't hide the tracker myself but Tony did however I do feel secured knowing the car is protected.
Besides a Tracker that may end up in recovering your stolen car, it's a prudent preventative measure to install a reputable after-market alarm system, that includes an ignition immobiliser. Also if you have a driveway, consider Investing in a lockable ground post, or an electronic smart bollard, restricting all access in and out of your driveway. Don't make your car easy to steal, manufacturers have done a good job of that already.
This is my opinion, I could be wrong.
Most modern cars have a Immobilizer built in
The 2 guys that walked by as soon as the owner set off have the same builds as the bandits in the video LOL
We wanted to zoom in on those two chaps at the end .... strange wasn't it lol
@Johnny Ericsson That,s police business but do agree the police should knock a few doors close by. However this involved the met police and those guys are just too busy and under resourced
A message from Captain Cynical: At 13:55 two lads walk past studiously looking straight ahead and not looking at the V8 rumbling a few yards away. Highly unusual, but totally circumstantial and of no practical use. Sod it.
Good video, good locksmith. Just in time to see the insurance companies put the theft excess up to several thousand from several hundred..
Why not install a kill switch on all keyless cars? Hidden in a different place in every car? Easy to install aswell find the wire that connects the fuel pump install a kill switch to it..
good idea but in reality not so much car manus dont really like doing too much custom work so at best theyd have lets say 10 locations to choose from so straight off theives just need to check 10 locations
then theres regional bias by some system you may discover certain regions only tend to have say 5 of the 10 locations on average so thats faster
then you got dealerships who will fuck the whole thing up by only ever ordering cars with them in the same location cause its easier for them
however... your onto the right track of thinking and if you were to do that yourself youd be onto a little bit of a winner but remember that depending on how you do the switch theives may just rip out the panels and hot wire
At 13:12, when the car is started, the exhaust fumes look like fire 😏😅
Brilliant job and excellent advice for key-less car owners to use a steering lock.
PMSL
Smart enough to understand the key RF signalling, but not smart enough to notice the anti-theift RF signalling coming from their own steal. Love it.
We need to bring public execution back for crimes like this
Although I agree for the hardened/repeat offender.....any long custodial "hard labour" sentence would act as a deterrent instead of the everyday holiday inn/vacation away from family/friends or the lesser slap on the wrist and be free to repeat offend sentencing currently issued out.
Not just for this, craig.
Lol if we bring back executions ther won't be anyone left
Stupid thing to say?
You can't send them to Australia anymore....
I am glad for the owners of these recovered vehicles, but I want to see maggot thieves in HANDCUFFS!
WOW a proper locksmith. Around here they use DeWalt drills, smashup the lock and door and then charge £150 for a £15 lock.
My Dad fitted a petrol tap under the front seat of the family's '56 Chev.
Once closed the only left in the carb only allowed the car to run for a couple of miles then come to a halt.
Caught me out once when I took the car to a Gig and forgot about it!
GONE IN 60 SECONDS IS WAY OFF...
I know right? More like gone in 20 seconds.
Well that film is pretty ancient now.
More like gone in a jiffy
That was before cars were made easy to steal.
The engine is cleaner than the inside of the car. They destroyed the inside of the car. They should be strung up by the balls in prison for 10 years. Scumbags.
It’s about time car manufacturers got up to date with keyless motors, they are a step behind the thieves, .
Well done Automatrics 10 out of 10
Police 5 out of 10
Richard,,,,,, he’s like superman! Well done mate!! 👍👍

*Wow I can’t stop recommending trustedtech94 @ gmail com/what’s app +13182391871.for the great help,his really good,fast and reliable.He tracked down my car within minutes thanks a lot*
You passed the theives on the way out.
Tee Tee yes at the end of video
Good to see he got his Car Back , I hope he got the name of the steering wheel lock and puts one on when he is not in the Car , Or put two bollards in front of his driveway. just a hint or wrap your key in silver foil so they can not scan it . good luck .
The best deterrent is a parking post. In the middle of your driveway. A telescopic one with a unique key.
"..to find THE tracker" Something tells me there are more than one on some cars.. ;)
Yup. Even the factory computer in modern cars uses multiple antennas in case one is disabled.
could you install a camera on the rear view mirrior, like one way glass when the tracker is active..
... that idea is ..... sexy i like the way you think sir
Great to see it was recovered !
Now off to the detailers for a proper clean.. It's filthy !
Amazing . Thank goodness the police did something! My car is of such low value no one would take it. Ideal car if you arebworried about theft.
Keyless entry is a unnecessary gimmick that you don't need.
t s Do you have a keyless entry car?
The word "unnecessary" was unnecessary in your sentence.
Still don't get it. Why won't you wait until someone returns to the car to arrest the thiefs?
there is no time for that and the owners are loaded with cash so they just want their car back.
My Audi s5 convert was stolen.
Police told me they leave it parked somewhere for a couple of days and see if its tracked and recovered . Then return, so they may be waiting days. Krafty kunts..
All that tech to stop car theft and it made it easy to steel, crazy world, back in the day, we use to hide a simple on/off switch to disable the fuel pump or ign system, maybe a lesson here to all, fit a switch somewhere non-standard hidden switch, it's so simple.
To block keyless thefts just use an empty metal cylindrical coffee tin "Kenco" type. It can easily be decorated as required.
Have any criminals every been caught red handed at the wheel? Is there a video on your channel?
Search for Range Rover Calais
Remove the fuel pump fuse each night , takes 2 seconds.
Great idea
@FrancisXGomes The idea is they dont know the fuse is missing .
Lock picking lawyer sits in drivers seat - "This is the lock picking lawyer..." *steering wheel lock falls off*
it was not locked lol
As always, beautiful job from across the pond. Keep up the good work. Maybe post an update to this one of the cops end up getting any fingerprints?
This is why i like saudi Arabia, got caught they chop off your hand. So you will definitely think about it before stealing.
What happens if they chop your hand(s) off and then find out later you were innocent?
@@pantzman then you've fucked it mate 😂
@@shammyali3895 I would say Saudia Arabia fucked it. But I doubt they would admit anything and you would be the only one fucked in the end anyway.
@@pantzman oi, you hating on the Saudi's culture? Maybe I'll report you to the PC police!
I've been caught stealing 3 times in Saudi Arabia
If I put Automatrics MTrack on my van it would double it's value 👍🚚💰
Only if you tell people that it's equipped with the tracker which would cancel out the increase in value.
Or just you know. Pay 10$ month and get remote start, remote sensors and 24/7 tracking
So Audis,BMWs and Fords are still takeaways,depressing really when you consider how much these cars cost.
Awesome job Automatrics.
Great result 👍🏻...Insurance companies should make it compulsory to have an aftermarket steering lock fitted .
Why retrieve the car instead of staking the site out and catching the thieves as they come to move the car?
Exactly. It's Grand Theft Auto so you would think it would be worth their time to catch the slimy criminals.
Why not put trackers on the thieves instead of on the vehicles?
the stake out might cost more than the price of the car
If it were their own property, then the police might do a bit more. Otherwise, they just tell you to contact your insurance company.
The job of the recovery team is to recover the customer vehicle as quickly as possible, without endangering themselves. They cannot act as vigilantes. Besides, in this particular situation the fella recovering the car was on his own and there were two thieves. Furthermore, the police took as much evidence as they could and that is going to aid them in possibly catching those responsible.
Also, thieves will hold the car there until they are certain nobody is looking for it, that could take days. As seen in this video, officers have other places to be to deal with crimes more important besides a car theft where the vehicle has already been recovered.
Love your channel.
Just discovered these videos.. Brilliant.
It's such a simple solution for the keyless as well. Either a manual "lock" slider you can push to turn off the wireless, or even more user friendly turn off wireless after 2min of no motion...
