Ford Ranger pickups are frequently targeted due to their value and versatility. Here are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk of theft:

Use a Steering Wheel Lock

High-visibility locks act as a strong visual deterrent.

Choose a Thatcham-approved device for maximum protection.

Install an Immobiliser or Vehicle Tracker

An aftermarket immobiliser prevents the engine from starting without the correct fob.

A GPS tracker can help authorities recover the vehicle if it’s taken.

Protect Keyless Entry Fobs

Store keys in a Faraday pouch to block relay attacks.

Avoid leaving keys near doors or windows.

Park Strategically

Park in a well-lit area or preferably in a garage.

If possible, block your vehicle in with another car.

Install CCTV or a Video Doorbell

Visible surveillance acts as a deterrent and provides vital evidence if a crime occurs.

Ensure cameras are positioned to monitor both the vehicle and street access.

Please share this message with neighbours and local groups to increase awareness and support the investigation.
